Abstract

Local government authorities in Tanzania are one of the very potential stakeholders that focus on empowering disadvantaged members in community including women with disabilities. Women with disabilities experience many forms of victimization due to their vulnerability caused by different reasons including inequality in credit and productive resources which led them incapable of accessing social services and other essential services in improving their well-being. This study focuses on exploring strategies employed by local government authorities (LGAs) to promote the well-being of women with disabilities in Arusha city council. A sample of 107 respondents mainly women with disabilities were involved in this study. Key informant interview was employed to collect data from ward community development officers, group coordinators and leaders of people with disabilities. Data were collected using mixed-kind of questionnaire and structured interview. With the help of Statistical package for social science (SPSS), descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data which were then presented in tabular form. It was found that strategies employed by the local government authorities in improving the well-being of women with disabilities apart from loans are like; entrepreneurship trainings, market connections, study visit, stakeholder’s connections, platforms for sharing experience and feedback as well as reproductive education. This study recommends the collaboration between government, private sectors and other development stakeholders to equip women with disabilities in different surveyed and productive strategies to improve their well-being.
