Abstract
The general objective of this study was to investigate the impact of foreign aid in Tanzania particularly in rural ares. Specifically the study sought to discover the impact of aided projects /programmes to people in Kiteto district and was guided by five hypotheses. The study was a case study that was conducted in Kiteto District into which KINNAPA through foreign aided project implements different socio-economic projects aimed at improving people`s lives particularly the Maasai. The Dutch donation through N(o)VIB was critically analysed and assessed. In this regard, qualitative as well as quantitative research approaches employed during data collections were effected through the use of instruments such as research questions, observation and documentary review scheduled. Therefore, based on the study findings the following were recommends: Firstly, for effectiveness of the projects beneficiaries should be involved throughout the projects` cycle management. Secondly, before implementing the project, donors should also take into consideration the social values including the culture of the people in the area. Thirdly, for aid to be meaningful, it is imperative to address the pressing needs of the local people. Projects should in this regard be community demand driven rather than donor driven.
