dc.description.abstractThe LAs are the providers of key services to the communities under their jurisdiction. The purpose of this study was to establish the extent to which the County Council of Kilifi has been able to uphold participatory management principles as required by the LASDAP framework. The study was to identify any bottlenecks and make appropriate recommendation so as to be as inclusive as envisage by the Kenya Constitution 2010. The study was guided by the following objectives: to identify the key areas in which participatory management is sought at the county council of Kilifi; to establish the mode of participatory management -:practiced at the County Council of Kilifi; and to establish the challenges of participatory management at the County council ofKilifi. This was a descriptive research design where a sample size of 384 was drawn from a population of council employees and local residents in 31 wards. Purposive sampling method was used to select the' sample. .Q. uestionnaires were used to collect primary data . The instruments were tested for both validity and reliability before final administration to the respondents. Two sets of questionnaires were devised, one for the workers and another one for th4 general public. Data was analysed with SPSS using descriptive analysis. Results are presented in tables and charts. -, The study found and concludes that most of the residents of Kilifi County have not been adequately involved in significant areas that local communities ought to be involved in. The study also found and concludes that the most significant mode of participation by the citizens was communication through interest groups. The study further found and concludes that the challenges that mostly faced the residents while dealing with the .. council in terms of participation in implementation of LASDAP projects were lack of encouragement, other competing interests, failure to implement the law, lack of support from elected councilors, lack of awareness, and inflexible structures. The study first recommends that the newly created Kilifi County should involve the communities more in areas of implementation of its projects as this has not been adequately done. The study also recommends that the Kilifi County should improve on the modes of communication by allowing more channels of communication between the County Government officersen_US
