| dc.description.abstract | The present study assessed the role of the Local Government Authorities (LGAs) in the implementation of the right to the alternative family care to the Most Vulnerable Children (MVC) in Tanzania, the case study of Ilala and Kinondoni Municipal Councils. The provision of the right to alternative family care by LGA within its jurisdiction is an important means of having unified families. However, the laws on child rights have disapproved the protection and provision of alternative family care to MVC. The data of this study was collected through field and library research. During field work both interviews and questionnaires were administered to officials from Ilala and Kinondoni Municipal Councils. Through library research, it was easy to get secondary data from textbooks, journals, reports, policies and legislation. The findings of this studyfound that the role of LGAs in implementing the right to alternative family care to the MVC is not well implemented in Tanzania due to lack of knowledge about MVC rights,the law, as well as poor implementation of the right to alternative family care to MVC. From the findings, there is a need to improve knowledge and create awareness among LGA officials about provision of alternative family care to MVC. It is also recommended that, LGA should implement, effectively, the right to alternative family care to MVC. | en_US |
