are set to accomplish the tasks intended. This chapter attempts to report the extent to which
transparency is executed in local government administration in Tanzania with concentration on Mbeya

documentation and experiential are the main sources of data for the study. The analysis of the study
is descriptive in nature, as narrations have been made on the factual trend analysis of the local
government in Mbeya. The issues given weight are transparency in awarding tenders for development
projects, which indeed consume huge amount of money. Secondly, is the narration of transparency in
decision-making from lower echelon to district level. Thirdly, is the presence or absence of corruption

measures to curb the problems. It has been concluded that local government administration in
Tanzania faces challenges on the implementation of the programs and projects. However, there is
