Effectiveness of Force Account on Implementation of Rural Water Projects

Abstract

Force account is recognized as the best procurement methods in the implementation of water projects. Nevertheless, there is setback in application of force account in water projects. Therefore, this study intends to explain the effectiveness of force account on the implementation of water projects in Tanzania. The study will use the sample size of 41respondents from the total population of 70 RUWASA employees in Arumeru District. The study will use questionnaire, interview and documentary review to collect data about this study. The collected data will be calculated using the Statistical Program for Social Science. The study will use both descriptive and inferential statistics. Also, correlation analysis and regression was used to indicate the relationship between variables. The study found that the overall mean of time management was found to be 4 indicating that respondents agree that respondents agree that time management play an effective role in the implementation of water projects. Furthermore, the study assessed the relationship between time management and implementation of water projects and the study found that time the general correlation between time management and implementation of water projects was established at coefficient value of -. 070 this indicates that time management and implementation were found to have negative and weak relation. . The study found that the overall mean of cost effective was rated at the mean score of 4 indicating that respondents agree that cost effective play important role in implementation of water projects. Also, the study found that the cost effective and implementation of water projects has positive and moderate relationship at coefficient value of (.575**) indicating that the increase of cost effectiveness will improve the implementation of water projects. The findings indicate that the overall mean of quality output scored the mean of 4 indicating that the respondents agree that the quality output play important role on implementation of water projects. Further the study assessed the relationship between quality output and implementation of water projects and the study found that the quality output and implementation of water projects has positive and moderate relationship at coefficient value of (.634**) indicating that the increase of quality output will improve the implementation of water projects. Therefore, the study recommends that the local government authority should continue to invest and emphasize on force account approach during implementation of water project.
