Effect of Cbo on Econonic Development of a Country
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Pressure on community infrastructures have been accentuated by the parallel modernization of urban economics and the marginalization of rural economy. These have often led to the concentration of rural migrants into urban areas without facilities for survival (Masoni, 1985). In response to these pressures, urban communities have sought relief by providing certain facilities/infrastructures for themselves through self-help programmes and Community Based Organizations. In most developing countries of the world, increase in level of income, social and educational awareness have created new standards of living, which have led to enhanced level of social standard of living. As these nations grew in size, the provision of houses has become more costly; there are new problems of health, safety and communications, which create the needs for sewer, drainage, water pipes, roads, etc. Usually, a community is defined as a geographic unit; that is, a group of people living in the same area, such as a village, a town or an urban neighborhood. In most cases, however, communities articulate their needs, seek finances and execute their projects through the assistance of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and especially those of the Community Based Organization (CBOs) or their affiliates.
In Nigeria, the provision of basic infrastructural facilities has not kept pace with the rapidly growing urban population (Agbola, 2004). The inadequacy of government to make provision in respect to the growing population has led to the adoption of self – governing techniques by the people through collective action known as Community Based Organizations, which arises as a result of the need of the people to be met. Here, people organize themselves based on appropriate institutional arrangement; mutual agreement and shared understanding to plan and execute public goods and services that directly touch their lives (Ostrom, 1990).Participation is seen as developmental,
