Abstract

The paper examines citizen’s participation in community development. It highlights the concepts of citizen, participation and community development. It illustrates the roles which citizens can play in community development, the benefits of citizen’s participation in community development and how their participation could be facilitated in community development. The paper makes some recommendations and concludes that citizen’s participation is an integral part of community development because without the citizens participating in any project/programme, there can never be community development.
