Tabora Municipal Council structure is enshrined in the Act of Parliament Number 19 of 1997. In 1982 the Parliament of united republic of Tanzania passed the Local government (District Authorities) Act (Cap 287) and the Local government (Urban Authorities) Act (Cap 288). These two Acts gave mandate to the Minister responsible for Local Authorities to establish Local Authorities in Districts, Urban Areas, Townships and Mitaa/ Villages. In the same year the Parliament also passed the Local Government Finance Act (Cap290).
In this Act the Ministers of Finance and that of Regional Administration and Local Government had to agree on the levels of assistance to the established Local Authorities.
In 1998 the Government came up with a White Paper, which was intended to reform the running of the Local Government system. This reform was based on Political Devolution and Decentralization of functions and finances within the framework of a unitary state. Originally the reform was centred in four main areas of political, finance and administrative decentralization and a change in Central-Local Government relations.
The reform process came up with procedures that could enable a council to be reformed. The emphasis was put on
Strategic Approach to running the affairs of councils and being more result oriented in attaining the desired goals. Hence Strategic Planning became the perquisite of receiving the required financial support.
In that process the different levels of the government machinery had to come up with Vision and Mission Statements, Objectives, smart Targets, Activities justifying the needed financial support and the Strategies to be used during implementation.
