Determinants of sustainability for community based water projects: the case of Hazina ya Maendeleo ya Pwani in coastal Kenya

“…A sample size of 301 persons was computed using Ross et al (2002) as illustrated in the Equation below. Simple random sampling techniques were used to obtain the study respondents using a sampling frame obtained from records of the HMP Manual (Aura et al, 2015).…”
