【 摘 要 】

This study investigates how the governance practices of the National Sports Council have played a role in the development of sports in Tanzania. The National Sports Council of Tanzania was established over 50 years ago as a statutory body entrusted with the functions of controlling all forms of sports and providing different sports services to the sporting communities in collaboration with other actors and stakeholders.Taking into consideration that sport is currently in a time of great change and accelerating globalization, this study examines the actions of the Council on the execution of its statutory functions at different times of its existence and how its governance practices have helped to improve or inhibit development of sport in Tanzania. A quantitative research design was chosen to conduct this study by utilizing self-administered questionnaires whereby, data were collected from 114 respondents represented by former and current chairperson, secretary general, members, staffs, officials from national sport associations/federations and sports officers from Regional, District and Malya Institute of Sports Development. The questionnaires consisted of 10 items to measure policy and by laws, executive committee roles and responsibilities, board development, management, organization’s development, partnerships, and challenges. The data were analyzed by using frequency and mean (SD) analyses. The study provides possible challenges of governance of the NSC that might be useful for the organization and future researches. The study revealed that policy and by laws governed by NSC is no longer sufficient for the current sport-changing environment. Likewise, budgetary constraints have affected significantly the development of sport in the country. The results recommend that there is need of total reform of the NSC to be able to move forward and improve both organizational performance and governance standards.
