ABSTRACT
The general objective of this study was to investigate the role played by CDF in funding
public secondary schools' physical projects within Lugari Constituency. Specific
objectives of the study were: to determine the effect ofCDF funding on physical projects
in public secondary schools; to establish the role of the school administrators on CDF
funded physical facilities in the public secondary schools; and to establish the challenges
facing the effective implementation of the CDF funded physical projects in the public
secondary schools in Lugari Constituency.
Literature review focused on an overview of the CDF programme and the history of
education in Kenya. The study used a descriptive survey design. The study targeted 46
public secondary schools. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select 14
public secondary schools to participate in the study, representing a sample of 30.43
percent. Questionnaires were used as the main tools for data collection. Results of the
study were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques such as percentages and
frequency distribution tables.
The study established that the PT A funded most of the projects in schools, as opposed to
CDF. Despite the fact that CDF was inadequate, it was established that it caused an
increase in the number of facilities in schools, though not by a big margin. The study
further revealed that most of the principals had attended CDF workshops, which enabled
them to be involved in project implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Challenges
that faced the effective implementation of CDF-funded projects were: interference from
local politicians in the running of CDF committees and corruption. The study
recommends that: all schools should be given an equal chance to CDF funds; CDF team
should help in sensitizing the community on the need to continue supporting schools
development morally, materially and financially; further CDF funding should not be
politicized but address needs of various schools and the most needy being given more
allocation and attention among other recommendations.
