##article.abstract##
It is of great importance that community based projects aimed at empowering and improving the livelihood of target communities continue to deliver their intended benefits as long as the needs they aim at addressing still exist. However, such projects face challenges of sustainability especially in developing nations. The curiosity that lingered on the researchers’ mind was why some CBPs in the study area were experiencing success and sustainability while others did not. The study sought to find out whether community participation had a significant influence on sustainability of CBPs and whether the strength of the relationship between community participation and CBP sustainability is moderated by legal-political framework. A mixed method research approach was employed in this study. Data for the study was collected using survey questionnaires and interview schedules. To collect quantitative data, participants in our survey were CBPs members who were dully registered. Using multistage cluster sampling technique and guided by Krejcie & Morgan (1970) model for determining sample sizes, 380 respondents out of 34098 registered CBPS members were selected from a variety of 1861 registered CBPs. For the qualitative aspect of the study, interviews were conducted on six (6) community projects regional coordinators both from the government agency in charge of community projects and non-governmental organizations who were purposively selected for the study. Applying descriptive- correlational research design in a cross- sectional survey, our study reveals that involvement of project members in the community projects lifecycle has a significant positive influence on project sustainability. Our study also finds that legal political-framework plays a moderating role in the relationship between community participation and project sustainability. Implications for community participation, legal-political frame-work, project sustainability and directions for future research are discussed.
