Community Based services will be the Fith in order to ensure that communities own projects and support all development initaitive like youth development Fund. Challenges in Implementation 1. There is insufficient manpower to operationally run the activities of the sector as it is operating at 58 % of its authorized establishment. The Sector also suffers a problem of inadequate means of transport and communication. Furthermore an inadequate skill for the job on the part of some staff is evident. Inadequate funding to the department compounds all these problems. 2. Inadequate funds accruing to the district arising from negative attitude towards tax payment as well as unpredictable weather patterns, which affect farm outputs and incomes. As a result of this, the district was unable to raise sufficient funds to co-fund for the Local Government Management Service Delivery Fund and NAADS. The whole Department comprising of Council, Administration, and Human Resource, Information and office support services, has had inadequate funds to run the mandated activities, given that they are also under the non-PAF category.
