Abstract: Abstract In most developing, transitional, and industrialized countries, local government transfers form the main source of funding for local government services and infrastructure. Tanzania is no exception to this rule: with more than 80 per cent of recurrent local expenditures funded by intergovernmental grants (Table 1.1), the transfer system forms the backbone of Tanzania’s system of local government finance.
