    Participatory practices in rural development Projects: The case study of Rural Development Projects in Same District
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2012) Likango, Getrude
    The purpose of this study was to examine challenges facing participatory practices in rural development projects in Same district in Kilimanjaro region. Four objectives guided the study. The first objective was to examine people’s understanding, and perception towards participation practice in development, the second one was to assess the level of citizen participation in different stages of project life cycle, while the third one was to assess the relationship between experts and the people at the grassroots. The last objective was to find out challenges facing participatory practice. To achieve these objectives the study largely employed qualitative methodology and few aspects of quantitative methodology. Methods of data collection were Questionnaires, FGDs, Interview and Documentary review. 120 Mkonga- Ijinyu village project beneficiaries and 5 development practitioners were sampled to get study respondents. The sample had a total of 125 respondents. Data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 15 while Qualitative data were analyzed according to themes, patterns and content. The main finding is that participatory project deliverance faces many challenges on its applicability and from actors applying it. As such it is difficult to have successful and sustainable projects. Issues like unequal power and non-power relations between development practitioners and project beneficiaries, unethical leaders and citizen representatives, and financial mismanagement are contributors to unsuccessful projects.The study recommends, among other things that, application of participatory practice should emphasize on empowering the local people through building their financial and non-financial capacity. Further, recommends that the government should take measures against unethical leaders who enrich themselves on the expense of community resources. Finally, recommends that community workers to have full commitment and perceive themselves as part and product of the community so as to work in a friendly way.
