2.2.2 Challenges
Faced by Ilala Ward
ü Environment Pollution
Is
among of the challenges faced by Ilala ward, these is simply because some of
the houses in the Ilala ward has no dust bins and dust hole, therefore some few
areas has full rubbish and bad smell that can lend to eruption of diseases.
2.2.3 Challenge faced by student
during the field work
Ø High number of illiteracy people at Ilala ward ;
this was an obstacle that appear during a field work, this was act as problem
into archive and spreading development strategies into society, due to the low
understanding among people
Ø Obstacle in data collection about
different business; actually I was got challenge
especially in this activities of data collection, into business man around the
Ilala ward, I was got hard time when you need some of important data from
business man but he/she did not want to give you data and still he/she needs to
ask you a lot of question which have not any value.
Ø Challenge in the issue of solving cases;
but also during my field work I was got a challenge during solving different
cases and this is due a lot of people around a Ilala ward , they do not
understand well the rules and laws to be followed.
CHAPTER THREE
3.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
3.1 Conclusion
Generally
the study observed that are problem of provision of social services like
education and health services. In the Ilala ward there is seven Secondary
school . The demand of the people in the education sector is high and in school
there are few of classes that leads some of student who need to started
standard one return home because there no space.
In
health services there are only government hospital which helps people within
the Ilala ward, also in the Ilala ward there are 3 primary schools also there
is no material of the office like computer and photocopy machines in order to
simplify work because some form need to be typed but there are neither computer
nor photocopy machines.
3.2 Recommendations
Because
of those problem of provision of social services the government must improve
the education services due to some children delaying to start primary school
and then the student who sturdy far from home to secondary school government
must build even one secondary school which can help the student to sturdy near
to their home so that they will reduce some cost like travel every day. So the
government must improve the education services in the Mtaa in order people to
have skills and knowledge, also the government must improve the office services
because sometimes workers of the office can’t do some like typing and other
works which need machine like computer in order to simplify work.
