Differences between Administration and Management

Major difference

"Administration frames the objectives and policies of an organization while Management implements these policies and objectives."

Management and administration are at times used interchangeably; however, they are two different levels of the organization. The administration is the top level of the organization with the decisive functions. They are responsible for determining the policies and objectives of the organization or the firm. Management, on the other hand is the middle level executive function. They implement the policies and objectives as decided by the administration.

The administration includes the people who are either owners or partners of the firm. They usually contribute to the firm’s capital and earn profits or returns on their investment. The main administrative function is handling the business aspects of the firm, such as finance. Other administrative functions usually include planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling and budgeting. Administration must integrate leadership and vision, to organize the people and resources, in order to achieve common goals and objectives for the organization.

Management usually incorporates the employees of the firm who use their skills for the firm in return for remuneration. Management is responsible for carrying out the strategies of the administration. Motivation is the key factor of a management. Management must motivate and handle the employees. It can be said that management is directly under the control of administration.

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN TANZANIA NEED THE PRESIDENT OF THIS KIND FOR INCLUSIVE NATION IN 2015

SIX UNFOLD QUALITIES OF THE PRESIDENT TO COME IN TANZANIA IN 2015

President is the person who is trusted and given the authorities mutually by all people with different abilities and personalities; he/she is thus belongs to all people. This president may have much impact (negatively or positively) to the lives of people within his/her country.

The president has much authorities, influences, last says, his/her preferences and priorities and many other things in decision making. These attributes of the president may contribute to benefit or marginalize people with disabilities and the majority in general.

The expected president, to me, his/her religion, tribe, culture, and many other related factors are nothing  rather than to naturally and automated consideration of human rights. The rights of people with disabilities are human rights.

One

The president must consider disability and people with disabilities as a lovely diversity which is to be embraced positively.

Two

The president must be sharp and profitably twistable when the situations need to be so. We need him/her to have ability to make meanings within the chaos. This will enable people with disabilities to benefit much during the disastrous periods of their counts.

Three

We need the president who is consistent, the one who says and acts according to his/her words spoken before the mass.

Four

The president who will have real positive thoughts and deeds to people with disabilities. His/her state of being positively towards challenged people will influence other citizens to reveal the truth about disability and people with disabilities.

Five

The president to come must appreciate the potentials of people with disabilities, and keep in mind that, disability is not necessarily being inability.

Six

The president must recognize that communication is the basic and vantage point through which come to actualize the meaning of life. Thus, in Tanzania, there is a need to initiate the subjects from elementary levels across the university ones. The subjects must fundamentally carter the needs of all people, including people with disabilities. The subjects must be labeled relevantly to their form and content.

The major trigger behind these six unfold realities about our president to come is that; the quality of human life depends on the decision made upon individuals by other people. If the decisions are decided poorly, negatively and irrelevantly, also the life of an individual will be poor, negative, and irrelevant (meaningless).

Contextually, the life state for people with disabilities in Tanzania is much affected by the political, economical and social affair decisions that were previously made upon them discriminatively by authorities. The time is coming shortly, yes, it is at hand, definitely just now; we, all have to think inclusively, act inclusively and build the inclusive nation in which every individual will feel belonging to and the owner of his/her country.

MARY PETRO: MLEMAVU WA VIUNGO NA UGUMU WA MAISHA YAKE

Kwa muda mrefu kumekuwepo na taarifa za ukatili dhidi ya watu wenye ulemavu; tumesikia walemavu wa ngozi (Albino) kwa namna walivyofanyiwa na wanavyoendelea kufanyiwa ukatili kisa eti Imani za kishirikina. Pamoja na yote uliyosikia lakini hebu fuatilia kisa hiki, ambapo mlemavu asiyejiweza kabisa anavamiwa, anabakwa, anapewa Mimba, mwisho wa siku anajifungua, lakini baada miaka kadhaa mwanaye aliyemzaa akiwa mzima naye ghafla anakuwa mlemavu.

Tangu nchi yetu ipate Uhuru waka 1961 Serikali kupitia Idara ya Ustawi wa Jamii imekuwa inatoa huduma kwa watu wenye ulemavu bila kuwa na sera timilifu.

Mary Petro, akiwa amepumzika

Kuwapo kwa Sera ya Taifa ya Maendeleo na Huduma kwa Watu wenye Ulemavu ni matokeo ya miaka mingi ya majadiliano baina ya Serikali na wadau. Pamoja na kutokuwapo kwa sera, Tanzania imekuwa inajihusisha na mipango mbalimbali ya Kitaifa na Kimataifa inayohusu masuala ya ulemavu.

Kimataifa Tanzania imesaini mikataba mbalimbali kuhusu watu wenye ulemavu hususan mikataba ya Haki kwa watu wenye Ulemavu (1975), Haki za Mtoto (1989) na Haki na Fursa sawa kwa Watu wenye Ulemavu (1993).

Barani Afrika, Tanzania ni miongoni mwa nchi waasisi wa Mpango wa utekelezaji wa muongo wa Watu wenye Ulemavu na mwanachama wa Taasisi ya Marekebisho kwa Watu wenye Ulemavu (African Rehabilitation Institute – ARI).

Hapa nchini serikali imechukua hatua kadhaa ikiwa ni pamoja na kampeni za chanjo ya kuzuia ulemavu utotoni (kwa mfano polio), kutunga sheria zinazolinda maslahi na kuboresha maisha ya watu wenye ulemavu, kuwapo kwa swali kuhusu ulemavu katika sensa ya Taifa ya watu na makazi (2002) na ile ya mwaka jana (2012)  na mandalizi ya kuridhia mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu Haki na Fursa Sawa kwa Watu wenye Ulemavu.

Sera inatoa mwongozo na inaweka vigezo vya utoaji huduma. Sera imejengwa kwa kuzingatia utamaduni wetu na inalenga katika kuleta maendeleo, haki na heshima kwa Watanzania wenye ulemavu.

Changamoto iliyopo ni kutafsiri kwa vitendo matumaini yaliyomo kwenye Sera hiyo na kilichopo tu ni kwamba kundi hili limekuwa likikumbukwa pale tu linapotokea janga au unyanyasaji fulani na baada ya hapo hakuna tena atakayejali na kulitilia maanani,kwani kukosa kwao huduma mbalimbali za jamii, kunawafanya walemavu waathirike kisaikolojia na wengi wao kukata tamaa ya maisha.

Pamoja na jitihada hizo za serikali lakini bado kuna ukweli usiopingika kwamba kuna baadhi ya walemavu ambao serikali haijawafikia mahali walipo, lakini kibaya zaidi hata jamii yenyewe inayowazunguka haijaona umuhimu wa kuwatolea taarifa mahali husika.

Miongoni mwa watu wenye ulemavu ambaye anaonekana wazi kwamba yuko katika hali ngumu huku serikali ikiwa haijui taarifa zake lakini kibaya zaidi jamii nayo ikionekana kumtenga na kutomjali ni Mwanamke Mary Petro (51) mkazi wa kitongoji cha Sima kijiji na kata ya Bupandwa wilayani Sengerema Mkoani Mwanza.

Mary Petro: Ulemavu wake ni miguu na mikono

Mlemavu huyo ambaye hana uwezo wa kutembea,huku akiwa ni mtu mwenye kubebwa na watu wawili wakati wowote anapotaka kufanya jambo lolote ikiwa ni pamoja na kwenda kujisaidia haja kubwa ama ndogo,kula chakula mwenyewe kwa kutumia mikono yake miwili hilo ni jambo ambalo halijawahi kumtokea tangu azaliwe miaka 51 iliyopita.
