COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF WOMEN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTY OF NAIROBI, KENYA
Abstract
The goal of the proposed study is to investigate how community involvement affects women's development projects' sustainability in Nairobi City County, Kenya. It will evaluate the ways in which community involvement in project identification, planning, execution, and monitoring contributes to these initiatives' long-term success. The research methodology for this project will combine explanatory and descriptive techniques. 45 respondents—nine project managers, nine project coordinators, nine quality control officers, nine government officials, and eighteen beneficiary representatives—will participate in the study, which will concentrate on nine development projects that have been chosen. The supervisor will go over the questions to make sure they are in line with the goals of the study and to make sure any potential ambiguities are removed to preserve validity. Reliability coefficients of 0.70 and significance levels of 0.05 will be regarded as appropriate. The questionnaires will be distributed and collected from participants by the researcher using the drop-off and pick-up approach. The collected information will be divided into multiple categories and encoded to allow for a more accurate evaluation. Descriptive statistics will be used in the examination of the quantitative data. Regression analysis and other inferential statistics will be used to derive research conclusions. Using multiple linear regression, the relevance of each independent variable will be demonstrated.
