Decentralization is commonly viewed as the transfer of legal and political authority from the central government and its agencies to the field organizations and institutions. This review analyzes the process, institutional and legal framework within which the environmental and natural resources management operates in Tanzania. It specifically focuses on the decentralization within central and local governments' role in environmental management. The focus of the study is to examine how the interface between the centre and local loci of power have affected pieces of legislation relating to management of the environment by central and local governments in Tanzania
