The methodologies applied to enhance people's participation were thoroughly discussed. Also examined were the extent to which people participated in the project activities, capacity building, and strategies to achieve sustainability. The literature review was undertaken to see how participation affects sustainability of water projects. Data collection techniques included; documentary review, interviews, questionnaire, focus group discussions, and physical observations. The study found that participatory planning lead to project sustainability only when elements of project sustainability were considered at the early stages. Such elements included operational and maintenance costs, willingness of people to contribute, demand-driven, and the use of technology that corresponded to people's ability to maintain the services.
