SAQ were used to collect primary data from 140 out of 152 target respondents, using simple random sampling. Data analysis was done using SPPS’S frequencies and percentages, means and PLCC. Findings revealed that the majority of the respondents were male, falling in the age bracket of 40 -49 years, with Diploma’s, and experience between 5-6 years. Also means and standard deviation showed that the level of both CDF utilization and development impact of CDF was satisfactory. PLCC revealed a positive and significant relationship between CDF utilization and development impact of CDF while regression analysis showed that CDF utilization contribute 86.8% of development impact in Konoin Constituency. Basing on the above findings, the researcher made the following recommendations: (i) Community participation in decision making should be encouraged in Konoin Constituency so that meaningful development is achieved. By participating in the decision process the community will identify projects that are meaningful to them;(ii)The CDF fund should also target all the beneficiaries so that needs of special groups are addressed leading to overall development in the constituency;(iii)The location of projects within the constituency should be evenly distributed so that all corners of the Constituency are developed equally, such that no part lags in development;(iv)Time taken to implement the projects should be shortened so that the community can utilize the projects on time giving room for other development projects to be under taken, thus leading to more development in the area;(v)Equability should be practiced in the disbursement of the fund so that the needs of the special groups are addressed, since they are the most needy. Addressing the needs of the most needy will lead to overall development of the people of Konoin constituency; (vi)The reach of the CDF fund should be spread to benefit all the community members so that none is left behind in development | en_US |
