CHAPTER ONE
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Local government is the lowest tier of
government anywhere in the world. It is very important because it is very close
to the people as a result of its multi-purpose in term of carrying out
socio-economic service in the local areas, promoting the democratic process,
serving as training ground for national political leaders and serving as medium
of communication between the people and the higher tiers of government.
However, local government needs to be
viable before achieving these purposes. The liability of local government in
turn depends on the nature of the power shared and the society. Where power is
divided to local government, they are likely to be liable while in case of
de-concentration of power they are bound to be unviable. This gives rise to both
terminologies of local government (as in devotedly) and local administration
(as in documentation) the latter amount to more filed agent which operate
execute the policies of the higher government, while the firmer possesses were
legal competence and more autonomy in the areas of self rule and mobilization
of resources (Tumba 2005).
Community development can be described
as the process where community members come together to take collective actions
and generate solutions to common problems, community wellbeing (economic,
social, environmental and cultural) often evolves from this type of collective
action being taken at a grassroots level. Community development ranges from
small initiatives within a small group to large initiative that involves the
broader community.
The concept of community pr-suppose
the mobilization by government or the people of that locality, local human and
materials resources in a coordinated fraction to be used in the development of
the community in term of project execution or implementation.
Community development means territorial formal
social system with intimacy and share common social, economical and cultural
characteristics. It is also a population living with legally established where
people have some social, economic and cultural features in common which enable
them to pursue a common goal.
Development in its own dimension means different
things to different people, some people take it to be change, other take it as
advancement improvement and progress while some scholars regard it as
modernization or westernization, in other words, development means continues
process of positive change in the quality and span of people.
What is meant by change are:
a. Ability to feed, clothe and shelter one resulting
from one income from one occupation and from provision of infrastructural
facilities like, road, water, electricity, the telecommunication and implement
in another factor of production.
b. Ability to live longer as a result of provision of
health and medical facilities.
c. Ability to read, write and to understand forces
surrounding through provision of formal and informal education.

OF PROBLEM
Some of the problem affecting the role
of local government and community development are:
i.
Planning without
implementation and implementation without planning of programme.
ii.
People are not
very clear about the nation and the community development programmes. This
usually leads to lack of community to the part of the people. It is more of
governmental programme than that of the people.
iii. Lack of
proper plan monitoring and evaluation, hence there
is no systematic way of determining programme
accomplishment facilitating effectiveness and efficiency.
iv.
Insufficient
resources, many community development projects suffer from shortage of
resources and in i.e human and for material resources.
v.
Top down
planning in which few top administrative offices make division on community
development programme planning and pass it down for implementation.
vi.
Problem of
coordination: This usually results in role conflict for example a change agent
is expected to fulfill the desire of the sponsoring agency rather than what he
consider appropriate to the community. i.e the use of contraceptive for birth
control.
vii. Poor statistical base for effective planning.
viii. Inadequate understanding of the community such as it
structure of influence, communication and decision making pattern.
