| dc.description.abstract | This study established the relationship between management of integrated development programmes and rural development in selected districts of Western Uganda. The specific objectives of this empirical investigation included: (1) determining the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents in terms of gender, age, marital status, academic qualifications, district and income level; (2) extent of management of integrated development programmes; (3) level of rural development in western Uganda; ( 4) establishing significant differences in the extent of management of integrated development programmes; (5) establishing significant differences in the level of rural development and establishing whether there is a significant relationship between the extent of management of integrated development programmes and the level of rural development. Descriptive comparative and descriptive correlation survey was employed. A sample 556 respondents were purposively selected from the districts of !banda and Kiruhura respectively. Data was collected using researcher devised questionnaires on management of integrated development programmes and rural development and analyzed using frequency counts and percentage distributions, means, T-test, Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient (PLCC) and linear regression. The findings of the study were as follows: majority of the leaders were males (61.3%), most of the local leaders in the study fell in the category of 20-39years (62.3%); 71% were married, 36.6% were bachelor holders; over 53% were from !banda and 68.8% rated their income levels as medium. While for the local residents; 54.5% were males; 73.6% were in the age bracket of 20-39 years; 54.3% were married; 44.5% were certificate holders; over 50% were from !banda district and 58.2% rated their income level as medium. The extent of management was good (general average mean=2.84) while level of rural development was high (general average mean=2.80). The extent of management of integrated development programmes and level of rural development differed significantly between the districts (mean= 2.96; 2.69: t=2.695, Sig. =.008) and (mean= 2.85; 2.'72: t=3.074, Sig. =.002) thus the hypotheses were rejected. Extent of management is not significantly correlated with the level of rural development in general (r= .007, p. = .886) thus the hypothesis was accepted. Regression analysis show that extent of management insignificantly affect level of rural development (F=.021, Sig. =.886).The results indicated that generally the contribution of management is minimal on the level of rural development. The recommendations in the study mainly focused on empowerment and training, diversification of sources of income, regularly continue soliciting and mobilizing political support for the plans to be implemented, carryout awareness campaigns, involvement of local people, promotion and use of new technology and support of agriculture. | en_US |
