ABSTRACT
The major purpose of the study was to analyse the impact of community participation in
project management and to suggest how best communities can participate in NGO
projects management. The objectives of the study were: To find out the level of
community participation; investigate the factors that influence their participation in
project management; analyse how the benefits accrue to different beneficiaries and also
to analyse how these factors can be mitigated to ensure effective community participation
in projects management. The study employed the case study research design where
careful and complete observation of a single unit or NGO was done in order to understand
the phenomenon deeper .The study was about community participation and focused on
Compassion International Lyantonde District from 2000-2005 where the sample size
comprised respondents drawn from Luwero. The researcher employed both the
qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse the data. Data were analysed using the
thematic approach and descriptive statistics. The study established that the people were
knowledgeable about community participation and NGO projects management however,
there were few activities in which they participated and most of the local community
members do not participate in Compassion International Lyantonde District.
On the level of community participation in Compassion International Lyantonde District
management, it was established that the people are not given chance to adequately
participate in Compassion International Lyantonde District. The evidence suggests that
people’s participation is passive, that training and capacity building can influence
participation, and the benefits of participation were proved to be direct and indirect.
Therefore, the whole study indicates that there are few people who participate in Compassion International Lyantonde District.
