INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Community development and its practice in Nigeria are not new. Even before the coming of the colonial masters, several societies in Nigeria used communal efforts s mechanism for mobilizing community resources to improve physical improvement and functional facilities in their given locations in the social, political, cultural, and economic aspects of life (Ewelum and Madu, 2010).
According to Ewelum and Madu (2010), the modern concept of community development gave rise to the establishment of community development division /department/directorate as a crucial arm of government charged with the responsibility of channeling the efforts of the people towards promoting social and economic development.
Ezeh (2014) therefore defined community development as a term that denotes various strategies and interpositions through co-ordinated actions of the community members in order to usher in for the people’s social and economic development.
It is an effort geared towards achievement and solution of the problems of the community, promoting social welfare, justice, raising the standard of living, community cohesion, and developing their material and human resources to a great extent.
Alvis in Njoku (2016) defined community development as many issues ranging from the development of the neighborhood community through improved social services, protection and regeneration of natural and built environmental factors.
Through the development of economic and employment opportunities. Nwadike (2005) defined community development as an action with a goal to improve the lives of those involved in it. In certain acts, this may include improving the quality of water or constructing homes for those without shelter.
In other areas, aid may be provided for people of low economic status. Community development is not only a physical process but also a very emotional process whereby people work together to improve their living standard b building not only infrastructures but also the bonds between them.
This is in agreement with the views of U.N.O that community development is the process by which the efforts of the people are united with those of governmental authorities to improve economic, social and cultural conditions of communities, to integrate these communities into the entire national development.
The importance of community development involves improving the standard of living of the people, creating awareness to them on how to develop their country by organizing some programs in order for them to be willing to co-operate with the issue of their community to develop effectively (Obidiegwu, 204).
According to Muoghalu (2014), many community development Programmes have failed due to abandonment of some projects which they cannot complete for the fact that they lack finance, management, resources, and orientation among members. Obviously, community development will not be promoted, and no positive result can be achieved until these problems are identified and solved.
It is, therefore, necessary to identify the factors involved in promoting community development using Anaocha Local Government Area in Anambra State as a case study.
Statement of the Problem
Community development programs have been encouraged by different administrators whereby they embark on the development program in order to improve living conditions as well as contributing to national development. Apparently, communities tend to be prone to constraints that puzzle them.
This is so because maximal development efforts still hang on the balance in Nigeria and there had been problems with promoting effective community development in Anaocha local government area, Anambra State which involve lack of finance, lack of good leaders, illiteracy, and basically lackadaisical attitude of the government towards the delivery system.
The researcher is therefore moved to carry out this study mostly because of the non-challenge attitudes of members of the community towards community development and lack of government involvement that hinders community development.
This is because community development agents, community leaders, and community members are ignorant of the appropriate factors that promote community development, thus the quest to defame the factors that promote community development in Anaocha Local government area of Anambra state.
- is topic should be carried out in all the local government in Anambra State.
