This study examined the impact of communal effort on sustainable development. Communal effort is a process which starts from identification of felt need(s) peculiar to specific environments or communi- ties. It is essential to identify and treat separately the elements of communal effort and the weight or bearing of each element on the sustainability of rural development projects and particularly rural-urban development projects. Communal effort can be viewed as a concept vital to the success of rural-urban development projects thus leading to the sustainability of such projects. The research design adopted for this study was the descriptive survey. A random sampling technique was used in selecting the study population. 300 respondents were randomly drawn from three local government areas in Ogun State. Questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study established that there was signifi- cant relationship between communal effort in identification of need and sustainable project develop- ment. It was also revealed that there was significant relationship between communal effort in project planning and sustainable development project. The study revealed that there was significant relation- ship between communal effort in implementing or executing project and sustainable development pro- ject. There was also significant relationship between communal effort on equal distribution of benefits supply and sustainable project development. The study therefore, recommended that rural-urban communities be given more political education on improving their attitudes towards project develop- ment in terms of active participation and involvement in all facets of project development.
