【 摘 要 】

This study intends to investigate the evolution of public performance evaluation system in Tanzania. For the purpose, it conducts a comparative analysis with the OECD member states, including United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, based on mainly secondary data.The study tracing the route for Government performance by exploring the route of Public management reforms from post-independence era to present. During 1960s and before countries made their reform according to their culture, history and prevailing situations evolved to that country by that time. Due to industrial revolution in the developed world leaders were looking for good reform model which could be suitable for governing the industrial sector which seemed as an engine to economic development.In Tanzania Government performance evaluation system can be distinguished for four epochs since independence in 1962.1st the post-independence phase of 1962-1972, 2nd the crises phases of 1973-1985, 3rd the structural adjustment phase of 1985-1995, 4th comprehensive reforms program of 1996 to date, that introduce NPM pandemic of public management reform which gave swept across much of the OECD world.Besides that things were not the same comparable to Germany, USA and UK because during 1960s, Tanzania was still under colonial domain and during independence in 1961s the government inherited Colonial administrative structure whereby traditional model was mostly used. Moreover during 1980s NPM Reform Model was introduced but much insisted during 1990s due to condition imposed by World Bank and international Organization.Although it is difficult to measure the performance outcome of each reform models (The NPM model, NPG and NWS)worldwide but there are some indicators thatthe researcher identified that the reform models had less impact in the improvement of performance and government accountability since the gape for this reform models has contributed to corruption for some government officials.Things like, lack of clear implementation strategies, lack of awareness and training for importing reform models for purposeful use in accordance to the countries circumstances were obstacle for the reform models not to have big impact on government performance. From the beginning of the 1990s, the question for Tanzania has not so much been about reforming, restructuring or downsizing public institutions, but rather that of building the public sector in the first place. Consequently, there has been no real Public Administration reform, just a transition without a complete strategy or detailed plan of action.There were limited achievements for those states that adopted Public Administration reform than those states that make changes in their Public Administration reforms .Tanzania as one of the countries which adopted New Public management model during 1990s fall in that category of those states which adopted new reforms by that time and created generally accepted constitutions and built the political institutions from that of socialist state to the one of Capitalist.
