Community Participation and Successful Implementation of Constituency Development Fund Projects in Kenya
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Community participation is important for any project to succeed. This article is filtered from a study carried out in Kenya to determine the role of community participation in the successful implementation of the constituency development fund (CDF) projects in Kenya. The article presents results on the community participation on identifying Projects to be funded by CDF; How the CDF projects were identified; participation of community members during CDF Projects Implementation; involvement of community members in CDF Projects Monitoring, CDF Projects Evaluation; and the Levels of Satisfaction in the Implementation of CDF Projects in constituencies. The results show that community members and citizens are less involved in the CDF project management from selection through to evaluation. Basing on Arnstein’s [1] Ladder of participation theory, the study concludes that community participation is important in the management of CDF projects in Kenya. This is because it ensures sustainable development and accountability in the management of funds allocated to the constituencies. Keywords: Community, Development, Project, Satisfaction, Implementation
