Abstract

This study was about the impact of Performance contracts on the effectiveness of local government administration. It was intended to find out whether Performance contracts contribute to effectiveness of governmental activities taking a case study of Gasabo District. The general objective of this study was to analyze the role of Performance contracts in ensuring efficiency and effectiveness of local government administration; especially in Gasabo District and Rwanda as a country in general. Specific objectives of the study were: to find out the Performance contracts that are signed by the mayors, to find out whether current job performance is better than that of before the introduction of performance contracts policy i.e., before 2006, to enhance the local leaders in implementation of their roles and came up with recommendations on how Performance contracts can best be done. Different literatures were reviewed in relation to the topic that is to say Performance contracts related issues such as Performance contract enforcement reports and the like. In methodology, the researcher used population of the study, sample size, sample selection technique, data collection instruments such as questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentary study. It included the practice of evaluating the goodness and badness of decisions made during the course of research work. The sample population was 61 employees of Gasabo District. It was an aid to decision making and facilitated the process of completing whole the book in terms of thinking, analysis, evaluation and interpretation of the data collected from the field. This comprises an orderly intellectual process and an orderly system of arrangement that enabled the one to reach the aspect of knowledge. It was a conceptual process that coordinated a set of investigation operations and techniques. According to Gaige Wilson (1989:142) documentary study is a system that formerly acknowledges the sources you consult for your research and to the full bibliographical entries at the end of research. The key findings revealed significant improvements in the wellbeing of the society in different sectors of life but there still remain some constraints such as, scarcity of resources both financial and human and the over targeting of expectations (goals). Even though Performance contracts are signed between leaders, there still remains poverty and illiteracy within the local population as revealed by the local leaders in the interview with the researcher. It was noticed that in Gasabo District, Performance contracts contribute highly to the workers’ Performance which also led to improved institutional Performance. Then, different suggestions were made with regard to how Performance contracts should be over emphasized in order to maintain good Performance that led to eventual socio- economic growth. Lastly, the researcher has contributed much for the impact of Performance contracts on the effectiveness of the local government administration, but there are other underground ideas, and a combination of related factors which were not talked about (shown/tackled) for instance: ‘what are the challenges of Performance contracts in Rwanda?’ referring to Performance contracts policy, hope that it will be tackled by other researchers in further research.
