metadata.value: The article presents a study that examined the effectiveness of the implementation of OPRAS
  on local government staff performance in the Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC) in Tanzania.
  The study adopted a case study research design and used questionnaires, in-depth interview
  and documentary review in data collection. The Sample size was 100 respondents
  selected through purposive sampling and the content analysis and cross tabulation methods
  were used in data analysis. The major study findings indicate that there was a weak implementation
  of OPRAS because there was no communication of the needs for OPRAS to employees,
  provision of OPRAS related training, and motivations to public servants were inadequately
  addressed. Furthermore, in local government authorities (LGAs) particularly KMC, there has
  been very little concern, demonstrated by inadequate funds and mechanisms put in place that
  ensure its implementation is effective and sustainable. In regard to this, the findings demonstrated
  an absence of viable efforts in terms of plans and strategies set to establish an effective
  and sustainable implementation of OPRAS in the KMC. The financial constrains caused by
  the absence of a specific budget for OPRAS implementation, laxity of the management in
  monitoring the implementation of OPRAS in the KMC, as well as inadequate funds disbursed
  by the central government to KMC are the major factors restraining the effective implementation
  of OPRAS in the KMC. It is therefore concluded that there is a need for the government
  to strictly adhere to the processes required in the implementation of OPRAS, such as communicating the need for OPRAS to public servants and setting adequate funds for OPRAS to
  be conducted.
