| Description |
The Government of Zanzibar has prepared development strate- gies of Vision 2020 on a medium scale known as the Zanzibar Strategies for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (MKUZA II) whose main objectives are to take care of the economic growth and the reduction of poverty in Zanzibar. To streamline eficient service delivery to the beneiciaries in Zanzibar, the Govern- ment has placed religious duties and responsibilities to three Government-run institutions. These are the Kadhi’s Court, the Ofice of the Mufti of Zanzibar and the Waqf and Trust Com- mission (WTC). Being allocated on a very strategic position commercially, politically and even socially, Zanzibar is sand- wiched between several forces as shown in its history. In view of the aforesaid, there is a need to revisit the overall responsi- bilities of the three institutions, compare them with the capacity they have in relection to both local environmental changes as well as those from a global perspective. This study will concen- trate on reviewing the WTC, which is a corporate body that has the power to conduct, coordinate or regulate by using its name any of its functions in accordance with the provisions of the Act Islamic law and rules of good practice. The aim is to review economic variables and functions of the WTC in relation to 95% of the population in Zanzibar. The study is also intended to explore the types of challenges facing the administration of the Waqf Commission in the areas of creativity, innovation, responsibility, involvement, support and participation of the concerned stakeholders and record management system.
