In this research, the questionnaires were delivered to the respondents by the researcher in person due to the fact that the researcher lives in the same community and could reach them easily. The questionnaire consisted of a number of questions printed in a definite order to the respondents who were expected to read and understand the question and write down the reply in the space meant for the purpose in the questionnaire itself (Kothari, 2004). The researcher chose this method because of its ability to collect data for large samples and its cost implication. More so, the community being an educational institution, most of the community members can communicate their thoughts well in a written way. The method was used basically to collect the data about the community demographic information, financial, physical and social assets of the community, livelihood strategy and the community needs. 1.3 .3.3.2 Focused Group Discussions This is a way of collecting data through the engagement of selected individual who are then made to meet in a small group so as to share and discuss on a selected issue of concern of the researcher. OUT (2010) observes that Focused Group discussion are “…discussions conducted by a researcher with a group of respondents who are considered to be representative for the target population”. The institution further elaborates that these meetings are usually conducted in a rather informal manner. This method was selected for collection of data especially at the beginning of the CNA in an attempt to understand the perception of the community of the services that are offered in the community and those which are not available but forms the need of the community.
