The major finding of the study district is among few districts which have industry area this means that unemployment can be possible low compared with other district. Lack of good infrastructure and customer care in the district are another constrains but management can act on this and changes to eliminate this problem. The people in the sector Niboyi planned to construct road starting with their efforts and contribution,
Donnas come latter as supplements, lack of enough fund , distribution is not good, more
sensitization is needed, few staff miss allocated, tax should also be used for development. Recommendation is Infrastructure is the base of development that is why what was done by sector Niboyi by constructing road through their contributions should be the roll model where other sectors can learn from this action. They have to think a bout Donnas after their own effort introduced in the project.There is lack of enough funds to finance the needs of decentralization institutions. In order to satisfy need of citizens. This problem lets the district depend on high tax can cause finance deficit in developmental budget which slow down the rate of development. The best way introduce municipal bonds, to improve customer care for the benefit of district.
