Abstract
  • This study examines the decentralisation of power and its impact on the achievements of Gerakan Desa Wawasan (GDW) Programme, a community development programme. Adopting the survey method, a pre-tested interview schedule was administrated to 480 respondents in the state of Kelantan. The research revealed that decentralisation of power in the GDW Programme was generally at a high level and had a significant relationship with the achievements of the GDW Programme. Community rights in designing, molding and managing the GDW Programme according to their needs were enabled by means of the decentralization of power. These findings indicate that there is a need for the implementing agency to delegate more decision-making authority to the local committee for the management of the GDW Programme in achieving the aims of the community as well as the government.
