Exploring the Influence of Participation on Programme Satisfaction: Lessons from the Ahmedabad Slum Networking Project

Abstract: Survey data collected from participants in the Ahmedabad Slum Networking Project (SNP) is analysed to examine the importance of community participation in explaining respondent complaints about the project overall and with the specific public services provided. Logistic regression results suggest that community involvement matters when asking about overall SNP satisfaction, but is less important in explaining negative comments concerning water, sewerage and street lighting.

“…Survey respondents who reported regular meeting attendance were asked if they perceived that BVM activities substantially improved local service conditions for their household, either 'not at all', 'unsure', 'a little' or 'very much'; perceived effectiveness is defined as very much. Perceived effectiveness of the BVM is a desired outcome irrespective of the initiative's observed impact (for instance, see Russ & Takahashi, 2012). Perceived effectiveness may also influence the quality of service outcomes obtained through collective action (Marks, Komives & Davis, 2014).…”

Researchers studying community involvement have debated whether and how to improve public services and infrastructure (Russ and Takahashi, 2013). We hypothesize that people's interest in participating in urban planning varies by content either because the topic is closer to their profession or because they care more about that topic for a variety of reasons.…”

The continued loyalty of and participation by the community is mentioned by Russ and Takahashi () as an important element in sustaining quality over time. Government support for NGO initiatives results in better outcomes (Khandaker & Badrunnessa, ).…”

“…Replication of model contingent upon replication of various factors (Hasan, 2006) Participation is a long drawn process and not always fair. The loudest voices will be heard (McFarlane, 2009;Kifanyi et al, 2013;Russ & Takahashi, 2013) | 343 DEVKAR Et Al.…”
