The management of community development projects by the District Development Committee : a case of Mahalapye Sub District in Botswana

Thesis (MPA) --University of Limpopo, 2009 / The Mahalapye sub District Development Committee is the most significant
organization in the sub district as it sets overall goals, direction and priorities
with which all development initiatives within the district should conform to. The
membership of the committee includes all heads of central and local government
departments, government planners, heads of Parastatals, and representatives of
Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs). Effective management of projects
requires collective consciousness, effort and will and it is important that
members of the sub District Development Committee work as a team to ensure
that all projects are implemented within the set time frames and limited
resources. The development challenges facing Mahalapye sub district are
complex. These challenges are not peculiar to the sub district, but are also a
challenge to other districts in Botswana. These challenges include the need to
implement village infrastructure projects in a cost effective manner in that the
projects are completed within the estimated budget and time schedule. The
research findings are that indeed the problem of project cost and time overruns
is a problem in Mahalapye sub District and that the problem is attributed to the
way the projects are managed, in particular, by the sub District Development
Committee. A number of recommendations have been provided to help
overcome the problem
