Este estudo investiga o impacto das Práticas de Gestão Estratégica (PGEs) na Boa Governança na Tanzânia, entrevistando 351 funcionários públicos para coletar insights. O estudo empregou uma série de métodos quantitativos, incluindo estatística descritiva, análise de correlação e testes de significância. A pesquisa revela uma correlação significativa entre a adoção de PGEs e a melhoria da responsabilização, transparência e participação cidadã nas Autoridades Governamentais Locais (AGLs). Os resultados destacam o papel crítico das PGEs, particularmente a alocação de recursos e o planejamento estratégico, no aprimoramento da governança, e identificam os principais fatores que influenciam a adoção de PGEs, incluindo recursos, gestão e contexto institucional. No entanto, o estudo também observa respostas mistas sobre o papel das PGEs na promoção da responsabilização e da tomada de decisões, ressaltando a necessidade de uma nova abordagem de gestão abrangente. A pesquisa enfatiza a importância de estratégias e ações informadas para a adoção de PGEs, levando, em última análise, a práticas de governança aprimoradas e melhores resultados para os cidadãos.
