| dc.description.abstract | The purpose & this study was to establish the relationship between community participation and sustainability, to assess the level of community participation In relation to project Identification, planning, Implementation and monitoring and evaluation as well as the level of project sustainability of Namuwong sanitation project In Kampala Ugahda. The study used a case study quantitative approach using a population project donor, community ben&darles and project staff. Data was collected using a self administered questionnaire and was analyzed using frequency, percentage, measures of central tendency, and a correlation. The findings drawn from the study revealed that, less effort was undertaken to consider the community beneficiaries In project Initiation activities. The study also found out that some reasonable &orts were undertaken to consider the community beneficiaries in the water and sanitation problem Identification and project decision making. Community beneficiaries were generally not involved in project planning. On project Implementation, the study found some efforts to Involve the community people In project Implementation aspects of community sensitization and community training to gain skills desired for project implementation which positively contributes to project sustainability through community appreciation of the project On the contrary, there was failure to consider the community beneficiaries In project Implementation activities of community financial mobilization and community human resource mobilization which negatively impacts on project sustainability. Efforts were undertaken to involve the community beneficiaries to actively participate in the sanitation project monitoring and evaluation. The project had attained some project sustainability in as far as the community identifying themselves with the project activities and community mobilization for the water and sanitation project in the area, The project had not achieved the desired project sustainability expectation of the community financing the project activities with the withdrawal of donor financing, achieving community knowledge on sanitation issues, and overall cleanliness and health environment in the Namuwongo slum. The study found a high positive significant relationship between community participation and sustainability of the Namuwongo project suggesting that water and sanitation project sustainability depended on the level of community participation in the project: The study recommends that to achieve the desired level of health project sustainability, project donor, project implementation staff and community members should ensure community beneficiaries participate in project initiation, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. | en_US |
