Hanang District
Musau,Stephen / The government of Tanzania , 2004 

A key obstacle to the success of community-based health insurance
initiatives in Africa is the dearth of well-trained health managers who
can design and run the insurance schemes in a viable manner. Internal
management controls are often not adequate to ensure the fund is
protected from misuse and fraud carried out by members or its own staff.
