Abstract:
This study aimed to examine the impact of financial performance reforms on public
service provision in TARURA in the Rukwa region of Tanzania. The study employed a
quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional design. The study's sample consisted of
71 respondents, and non-probability purposive sampling was employed. Closed-ended
questionnaires and secondary data sources were employed to get the data. Stata version
15 was used to analyse the data. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model was
used to generate the coefficients. The implementation and utilization of financial reforms
had a positive influence on service provision and were statistically significant at the 5%
level, according to the analysis. Reforms' effectiveness had a positive influence and was
statistically significant at the 1% level. However, the implementation of reforms had a
positive impact on TARURA's service provision in the Rukwa region, which was
statistically significant at the 1% level. The study concludes that the TARURA must
enhance its public financial management reforms while sticking to budgetary regulations
set by the national assembly. Additionally, the Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency
should embrace technology to enhance its public financial management. The study
recommends that the government provide subsidies for the execution of the reforms in a
way that is beneficial to the general public. To confirm the existence of this relationship,
the study recommends conducting additional research on other TARURA entities in the
country
