dc.description.abstractRural District Councils (RDCs) were established to promote rural development in their areas of jurisdiction through the provision of social and infrastructural services. Thus, they play a major role in the development of rural areas. However, RDCs are failing to deliver these services. This study sought to investigate the challenges facing Chivi Rural District Council in the provision of social and infrastructural services. Through interviews, questionnaires and focus group discussions, the research managed to gather information from RDC workers, NGOs, councilors, responsible ministries, business people and Chivi residents. The research established that a number of factors were constraining the delivery of social and infrastructural services in Chivi District. These included financial deficit, unstable political environment, poor budget performance as well as lack of qualified personnel. These constraints were retarding the development of the district. The study thus found it necessary for the council to improve its capital base, human resource, link planning with budgeting and improve stake holder participation.en_US
