Abstract
The study examined the impact of community participation on decentralized community access to road service delivery in the greater Bushenyi District. The research aimed to understand the factors that hinder community participation in project design, resource maintenance, and management, as well as the success and challenges of decentralization and community participation in road service delivery. A descriptive case study design was used, with a sample of 123 from an accessible population of 179. The results showed a positive relationship between community participation in project planning, implementation, and maintenance of road services. The study concluded that a district development plan and budget are crucial for better access to road networks, and workshops and conferences can be effective for local mobilization. The study recommended conducting more consultative and feedback meetings, lobbying for funds, creating a task force to oversee awareness programs, improving remunerations, and addressing human resource gaps. The local government should also focus on sensitizing politicians, rewarding road maintenance, formulating road ordinances, and lobbying for more funding.
