- ItemWomen participation in the implementation of sustainable development projects in selected villages of Mpigi District(Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2013-07) Nankumba, PhilomeraWomen’s participation in the development is wildly believed to he an essential ingredient of the development process. It is an integral part of’ development projects. It is critical to the successful impact and sustainability of the projects. Although women in Mpigi District are involved in all areas of development projects as individuals, families and groups, their contributions are still low and the influence of their participation is largely negligible form for improvement of their living standards, Many women. men, girls and boys continue to suffer from poverty, food insecurity, ill itcracv. poor health. violence, insecurity, etc... Indeed, the means and strategies women are using to cope with the situations as well as the challenges facing through their participation remain unknown and unexamined. Besides this, most of the projects implemented by other developmental agencies fail to sustain and fail to meet the needs of the women. Unless these challenges are identified and addressed. women’s contributions to development remains invisible unrecognized and inadequately rewarded. When women’s contributions are not valued similarly their own value is not appreciated. This imbalance endangers for women, families the community’s current and future well being and this negatively affects the sustainability of the projects. This study therefore attempted to assess the effective women’s participation in the implementation of development project and demonstrate how womens participation could be improved in selected villages of Mpigi District.
