Abstract

This chapter investigates the institutional roles played by the government, non-governmental organisations, and community members in the wake of promoting companies to indulge in corporate social responsibility in Tanzania. The case study design approach was employed using data extracted from semi-structured interviews with government officers and managers of non-governmental organisation and community members residing in places where companies operate. Similarly, managers of companies were used to justify the roles played by institutions. The data covered the period between 2018 and mid-2020. The findings suggest that companies are influenced through coercion from institutions, provision of incentives, dialogue, awareness during registration, directives, stakeholder meetings, and requests for their most pressing needs. Furthremore, non-complying companies face some form of punishments to refrain them from avoiding practising corporate social responsibility. There exists a poor feedback mechanism between companies and community members residing in areas close to companies’ operations. The chapter provides recommendation for policy and documents the limitation of the study.
