Development administration

The greatest achievement of the community development program has been the establishment of a well structured administrative set up for developmental activities. This has made it easier for the people to find relevant help from those manning the projects and it has also ensured that these projects are distributed equally across the country.

Health facilities

Introduction of development projects have also played a major role in ensuring that rural areas get facilities for public health. Due to this there has been a reduction of mother and child deaths during delivery because people are able to access professional health help on time.

Malaria, cholera and other epidemics are no longer a threat as it was the case a few years ago.

Nation building

For any country’s democracy to be successful, and evolve a new socio economic order based on economic and social justice, the citizens of the country should be properly motivated towards it and they should also actively participate in it.

Through these projects many people have learnt to share and extend a helping hand to the weaker sections of the society. This in turn helps the weaker sections of the society to be able to develop with the rest of the communities.

Due to the limited resources and wants its important that the people are encouraged to work together for the achievement of common need.

National economy

Agriculture occupies a very important in the country’s economy. Through agricultural development projects many people have been able to produce farm produce which is used for commercial purposes and for food purposes.

The lives of many people have been uplifted through the revenue they get from the sale of their agricultural produce. And as the people continue to grow and progress, so is the nation’s economy.

Standard of living

Development projects in Kenya have played a big role in ensuring that the living standards of many people living in the rural areas are improved. The projects have ensured that women and youth are empowered both socially and economically.

Empowered women are able to stand up for themselves and also to ensure that there is food security in their families.

The youth have also not been left behind and most of them have been economically empowered through these programs. This has led to the reduction of the number of youth involved in poverty related vices.

As we have seen above development projects in Kenya have played a major role in ensuring that citizens of this country are empowered.
