Abstract
This study assessed the influence of development partners on democratization
process in Zanzibar, it aimed at finding out in which stage of election the
development partners intervene, scrutinizing the influence of development partner‟s
intervention to the democratization process in Zanzibar, and proposing the measure
that could be taken to improve democracy without the development partners. The
study used the case study type of research in order to collect detailed information
about the problem undertaken. Data were collected through questionnaires and
interview. The study was conducted in Zanzibar at urban district which included the
Government Ministry as well as the International Institution and other stake holders
who are well conversant with this study. A total of 70 respondents were randomly
selected in order to get deeper understanding of the problem.
The study concluded that the influence of development partners on democratization
process in Zanzibar has many negative effects including: The stakeholders need
more adequate knowledge on understanding the intervention of development
partner‟s in Zanzibar is inevitable because many of the African countries do not
afford to handle their own matters. It is necessary for the government of Zanzibar to
explain the inevitability of development partners in democracy due to the extreme
efforts the government put to enhance democratization especially during the periods
of election. The study findings again concluded that, Due to this circumstance the
government through the electoral commission must play important role providing
education, and awareness to their citizens on the importance of voting during the
election period. This is because the rights of voting is important for every matured
citizen in the country.
