ABSTRACT
This study focused on women participation and success of government
development projects in Mbale municipality, Mbale district, Uganda.
Three specific objectives were based on to collect data, these included;
to find out how women participation in government projects has led to
success of government projects in Mbaie municipality, to assess the
challenges women face while participating in government projects in
Mbale municipality-Mbale district and to come up with solutions to the
challenges women face while participating in government projects in
Mbale municipality. The researcher employed both descriptive and
exploratory research designs. A sample size of 100 respondents was
used to collect information.
Findings of the study showed that women participation has led to the
increase in accountability and transparency in the implementation of
government projects which has led to their success, in addition,
effective communication is also promoted, decision making process is
also enhanced and women leadership in some of the projects was
greatly appreciation. This is because there has been considerable
government commitment and activity led by women’s agencies in
Mbale municipality which are designed to promote the participation of
women in leadership and decision-making roles. Therefore, there could
be an opportunity loss of not involving women in implementation of
government projects. The study therefore recommends that there is a
need for affirmative action and gender rnainstreaming for enhancing
women’s participation in implementation of government projects. This
is so for me because the study was convinced that, women’s
empowerment for participation entails a process of struggle at both
personal and collective levels. r~sing women in positions of power
will be one way of influencing clhe:r ~amen to take up challenging
positions in leadership, and hence building confidence and motivation
