Definition of Community-Based Organization

Community based organizations are formal voluntary social groups that are found in communities which differ in size, objectives and degree of interaction among members,
          They influence ideas and actions of others.  They have effective means of changing the structure of the communities, harnessing their resources and improving agricultural development.

          There are various components that make up community-based organizations.  They are community development associations, youth associations, women organizations, and cooperative societies.
2.0     Community Development Associations
          Community development associations are formed due to the greater application of self-reliance and the knowledge that the government cannot provide all community needs.
          Since 1986, the community, including the farmers was empowered by the government of Nigeria to call on the private sector to play active role in job creation, provision of social services and welfare packages to workers.
          Communities have been encouraged through counterpart funding to identify plan and implement community agricultural and rural development projects with governments of Nigeria.

          Mode of Formation
          The officers occupy the post by election or appointment.
They have the position of chairman, secretary, auditor, financial secretary, public relation officer and social welfare.
Other members of the association are the indigene of that particular town.
They have written constitutions and almost all depend on contributions from members.
Objectives
          The major goal of all the community development associations is the development of their communities.
          Other goals are educational, mobilizing the people for self-help and adult literacy and safeguarding the security of the neighborhood.

          It could also be use for promoting the socio-economic development of the areas..................................................................................................
