Abstract

This study assessed the effectiveness of carrying out works under FA in Bukoba DC. Specifically, assessed the influence of resource factor, examined the influence of management support as well as identified the influence of regulatory factor in effective project implementation. Only 75 people participated in the study, which used a qualitative and quantitative research design. Only two main techniques were used to obtain the data: surveys and interviews. Multiple regression analysis, factor analysis, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the study's quantitative data, while explanations were developed for the qualitative data analysis. The results of the study show that resource factors have a beneficial impact on force account projects' value for money. Similarly, it was noted that value for money was also influenced positively by the management support, and regulatory factor. These imply that a unit increase in organization resources, organization management support and regulations awareness in force account projects leads to effecctive project implementation as well as value for money. Generally, it was recommended that, due to their enormous sphere of effect, it was generally advised that resource, management support, and regulatory factors be considered and given priority while implementing public projects, particularly when the force account approach is being used. Keywords: Force Account, Local government authorities, Value for money, Effectiveness.
