| dc.description.abstract | Since the majority of Kenya people live
in rural areas, there has been a continued stress
on the importance of developing the rural areas. Many
strategies have been used towards this end. District
Focus for Rural Development is one of them. To effect
district planning, an institutional framework has
been established at the district level.
This study has been prompted by the fact that
what has become a major problem of concern is the
effective operation of the District Development Committee
(DDC~ which is supposed to coordinate lower level
development agencies and committees through which
the identification and implementation of projects
is to be effected and in particular the concern
of the role of the community at different levels
of operation..
The study specifically examines the organizational ,.
machinery for the DDC in relation to other sub-committees
and agencies, and the role of the community in the
development planning process. | en |
