Therefore, my study aims at investigating on roles that NGOs play in implementation of Tanzania child development policy of 1996 case of Karagwe district, in Kagera region. I will be presenting my academic proposal on 4th-5th of April, 2014 at Nairobi Kenya to MKU Postgraduate school defence

12. Research Design
The chosen research type is descriptive and it will use
both qualitative and quantitative method (Kothari, C.R:
2004). As quantitative research refers to the
systematic empirical investigation of social phenomena
via statistical, mathematical or numerical data or
computational techniques, where qualitative method
Qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-depth
understanding of human behavior and the reasons that
govern such behavior. The qualitative method
investigates the why and how of decision making, not
just what, where, when. Hence, smaller but focused
samples are more often used than large samples.

13. Population of the study
The target area is Karagwe district, Tanzania
which has 78 registered NGOs to be involved
in this study, 22 wards to be
reached, department of social welfare officers
and the police officers to be involved in the
current study.

14. Sampling Techniques
Sampling is the process of selecting a number of
individuals for a study in such a way that the
individuals represent the larger group from which they
were selected (Kothari, C.R: 2004). The current study
will use stratified random sampling technique. It will
randomly draw 78 respondent from the 78 registered
NGOs in Karagwe district and only executive directors
of NGO will be selected; get respondent from the 22
Wards of Karagwe district who are most vulnerable
children committees leaders, 2 government social
welfare officers will be involved in the study and 4
police officers in Karagwe district will be used as
representative sample of the study.

2 22 MVCC AT WARD LEVEL 44
3 DEPARMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE 2
4 POLICE DEPARTMENT 4
TOTAL PARTICIPANTS 128

16. Data Collection Methods
The researcher will use standardize
questionnaires, and surveys methods
necessary in carrying out this study.
Survey= collecting information , usually from
fairly large groups of people, by means of
questionnaires but other techniques such as
interviews or telephoning may also be
used(Kothari, C.R: 2004). While

17. Questionnaire= This is mostly used as when
participants have no time to attend interview
and participants gets time to state their views
privately without worrying without possible
reaction of the researcher (Kothari, C.R: 2004)

18. Validation and Reliability of
Instruments
The two supervisors (internal and external) will
be involved to validate the questionnaire.
Their corrections and suggestions will be
incorporated in the draft for the next stage of
validation. The 15 NGOs officials who will not
be included as the final respondents will be
asked to answer the questionnaires. Their
responses will be tested for reliability.

19. Data Analysis
Data analysis is the process which starts at data
collection and ends at interpretation of
processed data. The current researcher will
use the document analysis-recording
sheets, where in analysis a margin of error of
0.075 will be selected since it is logically
difficult to deal with a larger sample size
(Mugenda et al., 2003).

20. Cross tabulation will be run on a SPSS (Statistical
Package for Social Sciences) to establish
correlations between the different variables.
The researcher will organize the results
around every objective. Data will be presented
by use of tables and graphs, giving rise to
descriptively detailed interpretation of the
phenomenon
