Results on strategies revealed that involving other CAs in executing projects (47.6%) in the urban agree and (39.3%) in rural communities disagree, involving the community (39.2%) in the urban disagree and (38.8%) in rural communities agree, involving the government (43.3%) in urban communities disagree and (63.5%) in rural communities agree. To conclude, raising awareness of members and the community on the need to participate in executing projects as a strategy for community associations will lead to sustainable project execution
