| Abstract: |
The role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in stimulating and contributing to community development among local communities is fast being acknowledged globally. However, it is argued that development projects and initiatives that have no inputs from the beneficiaries tend to fail overtime. There are documented evidences that some local communities in Tanzania have refused CSR projects. This study was carried out to assess the challenges, opportunities and communities' participation in CSR decision making process offered to local communities by mobile companies in Tanzania. The main objective of this study was to find out how mobile companies in Tanzania identified problems, prioritised and managed communities that are beneficiaries of the CSR programmes, at what stage the communities that are the beneficiaries participated in the decision-making processes and the impact of their participation. The study employed questionnaire survey method to collect data from 41 respondents purposively selected. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews were used to compliment and validate data from questionnaires. The qualitative data is descriptively and content analysed using stakeholder theory. The results revealed that mobile companies involved in the study as well as the government of Tanzania had no common CSR management systems in place. It further found that mobile companies did not engage local communities in decision-making processes and CSR tended to create local communities’ dependence on the companies. Thus, the study concludes that companies, communities and government need to have a shared interest in a successful development process than dominating a failed, dissatisfied, socio-economic structure. The study, therefore, recommends that companies should institutionalize community participation in CSR decision-making and the government should seek to coordinate and promote CSR programmes through an explicit CSR policy. |
