The researcher used a descriptive, correlation and survey design. Data was collected using both closed and open ended questions and interview guide from 233 respondents.

The study findings reveal that there is low level of governance in Kasese District Local Government with less participation of community members in Local Government plans and implementation of community development projects. The :findings reveal that community participation influences governance in a way that people are brought together to incorporate their knowledge and opinions in planning and managing their community development projects. The study findings also reveal that forming and empowering development committees at all local council levels help community members to get more involved in development projects and governance of Kasese District Local Government and participate with a sense of community ownership. The researcher concluded that community members should be taken as key players m determining their local needs and should. actively participate in identifying, assessing, prioritising, allocating, implementing and evaluating their community development projects in Kasese District Local Government in order to meet their socio- economic affairs in their communities. The study thus recommends that the district local authority, the civil organisations and the community members should embrace the idea of community participation in Kasese district through participatory rural appraisal approaches. | en_US |
