Tanzania Post to judge regional managers on results
Regional managers and headquarters leaders will be assessed on business growth, resource use and service quality, with action for those who fall short.
Shirika la Posta Tanzania has set business results, efficient use of resources and service quality as the main measures of its leaders' performance. Managers of regional offices and headquarters staff will be assessed on the growth they achieve, and those who fail to carry out their duties will face accountability measures after performance reviews.
Postamasta Mkuu Macrice Mbodo said no leader will be outside these assessments and that leadership posts come with a duty to show measurable results. He made the remarks on November 12, 2026, in Dar es Salaam, while opening a two-day training for regional managers on results-based management and productivity. Assessments will take each area's conditions into account, with successful managers recognised and weaker areas analysed.
Mbodo cited Morogoro region, where a manager has set a target of shipping 5,000 parcels after strong demand for parcel delivery exposed a shortage of vehicles. He said Tanzania ranks 66th globally and fourth in Africa in the Universal Postal Union assessment, behind Egypt, Morocco and Mauritius, and that the organisation aims to become Africa's leading postal service.
Why it mattersRegional postal managers who miss their targets will face accountability measures, and Morogoro's 5,000-parcel goal depends on resources management has promised to provide.
