This study employed a case study design. A sample size of 118 clients was purposively selected. The sample comprised 60 internal customers’ and 58 external customers. The study concludes that there is poor utilization of CSC in DMC because since the establishment of the charter, it has not been made public. In addition there is no any effort taken by the DMC management to make it operational. The study found that despite CSC being not implemented, majority of the external customers were satisfied by the services provided by DMC. On the other hand, majority of the internal customers were not satisfactory by the services offered by DMC.enClientService charterClient service charterInternal clientsCSCExternal clientsDodomaTanzaniaLocal authorityArticle
