dc.description.abstractThe study aimed at identifying, describing and analysing social policy and social policy research in Tanzania. The 'urgency of studying social policy was necessitated by the failure of the state to address the pressing social problems (1980') Tanzania's experience shows that there is a wide gap between stated objectives of social policy and its actual implementation . Another major concern was to gain an understanding of the conceptualization, organization and scope of social policy practice in Tanzania; by using qualitative methods in interviewing key actors in the social policy process. Interviews, focused group discussions, participatory methods, and documentary reviews were used to collect data. Findings show three dominant social policy regimes, namely: the residual, Institution, and basic human needs. However, elements of universalism and selectivism were noted as new features. To date there is no clear social policy regime but confusion and an unplanned interplay of different regimes. Thus although Tanzania has a well-articulated structure of social policy formation it is nevertheless, characterised by poor and unclear pattern of social policy formulation. The art and state of social policy formulation has not considered the resource input as a necessary ingredient for an effective and successful implementation.en
