dc.description.abstractThe participation of women in politics, development activities, and decision-making is crucial for increased investments in education, health, and infrastructure, as well as higher economic growth and poverty reduction. This paper examines the contribution of Women Special Seats Councillors (WSSCs) in implementing community development interventions in Kahama Municipality, Shinyanga, Tanzania. The study used qualitative research methods, including Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), and document reviews. The findings show that WSSCs collaborate with ward councillors to develop comprehensive development plans that address specific needs. It is recommended that the government, WSSCs, and community members strengthen their participation in community development initiatives through the establishment of a Community-Oriented Stakeholders Model (COSTAM). This model promotes joint involvement throughout the project life cycle and empowers stakeholders, particularly women, through capacity building opportunities. These processes ensure that projects are relevant, sustainable, and responsive to community needs in Tanzania.en_US
