dc.description.abstractSeveral studies have discussed community participation in socio-economic projects. The studies have shown that many projects that have been initiated by either the government or private sectors have encountered resistance and reluctance from the local communities and other officials due to lack of prior and continuous involvements, poor dissemination of information on the significance of the projects, and differences in priority and interests. One of the key factors for the success and sustainability of any project is a clear understanding of the community's voluntary involvement, perspectives, and expectations of the given project. This study, therefore, aims to analyze the communities’ perspectives, expectations, and concerns related to the recent discovery and management of natural gas in Tanzania. The study adopted a questionnaire survey. Data was collected from the 115 respondents from local communities of Lindi and Mtwara regions in Tanzania. The study revealed that the communities are aware of the natural gas discoveries and policies and laws related to them. It shows that a small number of employment opportunities have been created and/or are expected to increase in the future. There should be transparency and accountability in the natural gas development, contracts, and agreements. The parliament should be the most trustworthy custodian of natural gas revenues. The study revealed that the natural gas sector would enhance the living conditions of Tanzanian households and support the attainment of the country's socio-economic development.en_US
