STRENGTH

The organization tries to increase the motivation to their workers especially in terms of salary
and other motivation.

Iringa district council increases work facilities especially computer which as a problem
during training students to post the transaction to Microsoft excel because there is shortage of
computer in IDC.

Director of the organization talks with their workers in order to know the problem which
workers in the IDC every month.

WEAKNESSES

The field practical training at Iringa district council as explained before that it was awesome,
but also it led to the encounters of some challenges as follows;

The need of adaptability; this become the weakness to the organisation hence people in the
society do not want to use license saying that they have lead pay to TRA

Little trustworthiness; it a weakness hence customers hide their stocks out of the shop to
understate the amount to be paid for license application

System failure; this makes customer tired of waiting for network to get control number in
which a lot of customer uses it as a defensive mechanism when court conducting business
without license

Many competitors, Iringa has about five Districts which lead to the limitation of income
correction by using license

Shortage of working facilities; working facilities are not enough in which it require
sometimes a worker to go to the other office for use of the facility

adaptation of the new environment
CLIMATIC THREATS
Climatic change impacts are felt along the entire agricultural value chain; so the main
activity such as agriculture fails due to poor climatic condition which reduces
collection of business licenses

Thus far, the attacks of Iringa DC have been relatively unsophisticated. They have
involved crude homemade, they have been focused on poorly protected targets of
opportunities and they have not resulted in mass casualties.
