ROLE OF CIVIC EDUCATION OF YOUTH ON DEMOCRACTIC GOVERNANCE IN TANZANIA.

Abstract

This study investigated the role of civic education of youth on democratic governance in Tanzania. The conceptual framework consisted of civic education as the independent variable and democratic governance as the dependent variable of the study. To capture the objective of the study, both qualitatively and quantitatively approaches were used, with the study adopting a case study research design. The findings indicated that majority of the respondents strongly agreed to have participated in the civic education program while a small percentage strongly disagreed to have participated on the program. The study recommends progressive policies and allocation of resources to address youth marginalization in the distribution of opportunities for participating in decision making so as to build their capacity through civic education.
