Community development projects (community projects) are established in the communities to enhance the lifestyle and living situation of the communities. In the area under observation, some of these community projects that were established for the welfare of the communities get failed or were not sustainable, despite having heavily foreign funding, state of the art construction and astonishing infrastructure. But, some of these projects which are locally funded, have some vague structures that are well operated and give effective outcomes for the community. This research is investigating the reasons for the failure or success of these community projects. The objective of this study is to examine the failure of community-based and highlight the success of community-owned micro hydro power projects in the northern areas of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. This research is based on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A survey has been conducted based on questionnaires and interviews. The outcome of this research will help the development authorities and other funding donor agencies to provide guidelines and strategies for better improvement of their future community project development.
