Abstract

Shared decision-making is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in ensuring the sustainability of community development projects in rural areas. However, despite its importance, many initiatives continue to be designed and implemented with minimal involvement of local stakeholders, undermining their long-term success. This study explored the influence of shared decision-making on the sustainability of rural community development projects, focusing on Mt. Elgon region in Bungoma County, Kenya. The study aimed to understand how inclusive participation involving community members, leaders, and project implementers contributes to ownership, accountability, and effective alignment of development goals with community needs.
