Abstract
There is an increased interest in community participatory development through the involvement of local social actors. Development through participation has shifted the traditional paradigm by placing emphasis on a diversity of local actors, and has generated mixed results, depending on the socio-cultural context of the development area. This study was designed to examine contribution to community projects, preoccupation for the community problems and mobilisation for action in Livezile – Rimetea micro-region. Predictors as village, age, gender and religious affiliation of the potential participants may provide clues that can prove helpful in optimising the strategy of social intervention.
