Abstract
This research seeks to determine the extent to which involvement of community helps in
identifying, procurement, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as quality
assurance for success of infrastructures in public secondary schools and implementation
of Constituency Development Funded projects. Based on top-down approach in
management of CDF funds have not been successful. Donors call for a people-cantered
approach in managing local developments in developing countries, as supported by
related literature. The study was carried out in Bomet East Sub-County, Kenya. Kenya’s
Constituency Development Fund assists in developing local communities. Descriptive
research was utilized to guide the study. Both primary and secondary data was used, and
descriptive statistics guided data analysis. Self-administered questionnaire was used from
a sample size of 100 respondents so as to collect primary data. There was a respond rate
of 75%. Data was analysed quantitatively using descriptive statistics where the output
was presented in terms of tables, frequencies and percentages with the help of statistical
package for social sciences (SPSS version 20).The study found that there was a
significant relationship between managerial factors, and the Researcher revealed that,
most of Bomet East Sub-County residents do not participate in management of
Community Development Fund projects, leading to failure in implementation. In
conclusion, community members, whether influential or not, should be involved in
identification, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the CDF projects to boost
success.
