Abstract

This paper examines the motivations for participating in community development in rural and urban districts in Ghana. Participation resulted from three motivations: shared responsibility, good of the community and requirement of a good citizen. The paper found no statistically significant difference between motivations and gender, age and education. However, there was a statistically significant difference between motivations and location. The paper argues that participation in rural and urban areas may not result from similar motives. This suggests a rethink of the influence of locational factors on motives for participating in community development.. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
