Data used in this study showed that many rural development projects in Kenya are not successfully implemented. This failure among rural projects has a negative impact on rural development in Kenya. Therefore, the purpose of this research effort was to show whether a centralized planning approach or a decentralized planning approach would be most successful in implementing rural projects in Kenya.Three rural projects were examined to show which be used in developing rural Kenya. Based on the definitions stated in chapter one, one project was thought to be nationally planned and two projects were thought to be locally planned. However, research revealed that all the three projects were centrally planned. Research also showed that the area covered by the project and availability of the project's research component play an important part in the success of a rural development project.Recommendations were made for further research on rural development which would lead to better solutions in developing countries of Africa. / Department of Urban Planning
