Abstract

Economic development is often riddled with problems, especially when stakeholders share different objectives initially. Tanzania is a developing country in the Tropics with a bursting 75-85 percent of its the population involved in the informal economy – an economic system based mostly on casual employment, kinship and social relations rather than contractual arrangements.

Tanzania certainly has its share of physical infrastructure development challenge for this informal sector. Using the Managerial Flow Model in three market infrastructure projects, we reveal apparent gaps at the start of the policy implementation: planning, governance, selection, coordination & integration, and finally knowledge & communication.

The managerial flow model is a useful consideration for any programme and policy implementation. We discover that managerial gaps can be closed at the beginning of the policy intervention or after implementation through an iterative revision process. However, if the managerial gaps are not closed at the onset of the project(s), poorer assets may be created, which may delay a successful implementation.
