Abstract

Pakistan, being a least developed and economically sluggish country, cannot widely support and implement the community projects for its nation. Community development projects in Pakistan mostly rely on foreign aids. The agenda behind this support to the least developed countries is to facilitate them in achieving the millennium development goals. The charter of United Nations also encourages the promotion of social progress and better standards of life by the employment of external machinery [1]. In Pakistan, the community development professionals design projects in a closed room without doing the practical need assessment with the people, in the field and serve projects in a plate for the community. The aim of this paper is to analyze the factor which affects the sustainability of the community projects. The study has found that the projects which were designed without the consultation, involvement and participation of the community people could not be sustainable. Based on the outcome of the study, I conclude that for the sustainability of community projects it is necessary that community should identify their problems in facilitation of the social researcher by using different tools and should also propose solution to these problems. On the basis of this collected data, community projects should be initiated.
