摘要：Sustainable development of a nation denotes ability to maintain certain level of development by all stakeholders. This study therefore assesses the participation of rural women in Community-Based Development Activities (CBDAs) in the study area. One hundred and twenty-five rural women were interviewed using structured interview schedule. Data were described using frequency counts, percentage, mean and standard deviation while inferential statistics such as chi square were used to draw inference. There were positive and significant association between level of respondents' participation in CBD As and their age (χ2= 29.04; ρ≤ 0.05); years of formal education (χ2= 46.09; ρ≤ 0.05); occupation (χ2= 40.45; ρ≤ 0.05); marital status (χ2= 36.51; ρ≤ 0.05); membership of social group (χ2= 17.71; ρ≤ 0.05). It was concluded that participation of rural woman in CBD As is an essential issue to avoid waste of vast human resources embedded in them.
