The study aimed to explore the management capability of Community-based
Projects (CBP). It also looked into the management practices, its prospects and
challenges affecting the sustainability of the projects. It suggested other factors that affected its sustainability. Moreover, impacts of these projects were also
identified. Using the qualitative research method, the researchers were able to
assess the capability of the People’s Organizations (PO), Non-Government
Organizations (NGO) and Local Government Units (LGU) and were able to
recognize gaps in the implementation of these projects. Data revealed that the
management capabilities of the POs are significant in the sustainability of these
projects; however their capabilities are not enough to sustain it and are dependent
to their partners including the NGOs and LGUs. NGOs have major loopholes in
terms of empowering their partner POs, while LGUs lack initiative in helping the
projects, since they only help when the communities need them or tap them for
help. Finally, the researchers found out that POs have no capability to address
their own problems. The researchers recommended that organization through the
help of these partners, such as LGUs and NGOs but no limited to, improve their
management capabilities to empower the POs for the sustainability of the projects
and that POs must learn how to face and address their problems and challenges in
their community.
