OUTLINE OF CHAPTERS
Against the background of the SL framework, the chapter discusses development projects initiated by the church. This chapter gives a detailed picture of how the research was carried out, the research population, the research tools used by the researcher and the problems encountered during the research process.
INTRODUCTION ·
THE CHURCH CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT
This complicates the whole process of meeting spiritual principles, especially in the current world, which is full of injustices, success based on corruption, lack of trust, transparency and lack of commitment and accountability.
DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD
Life expectancy of the members of the association in the relevant area, which corresponds to the national status. In the context of this asset, it is also important to study the marketing skills of the people and the quality control of their products.
SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT 27
But you may want to question the framework in terms of the place of religion or faith in people's livelihoods. The framework was intended to be used as a benchmark in determining the strengths of the particular community, the project and the church as a funding institution.
INTRODUCTION 30
Based on the vision and mission of the ELCT and particularly on the vision and mission statements of the independent units of the ELCT (20 dioceses), the ELCT defines development as a process of change that includes spiritual and material well-being (Mshana, 1986). The V1Elephant above suggests that the church put people at the center; after all, the strength of the church is the people.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
How it should be done remains a paradox as approaches and ecclesiastical models of proselytizing such a message of development vary from one church to another. It cannot be linear and predictable, it must move at the pace of individuals and groups in the community.
THE INDIVIDUAL AND DEVELOPMENT
There are a number of research papers by theologians on the spiritual side of church duties. What kind of help did the first recipients of the Ukwega church sponsored milk project get from the project.
LEARNING PROCESS: KNOWING THROUGH PARTICIPATION
FACTORS OF DEVELOPME T
MEETING THE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL
Needs of the self for wholeness or autonomy: These include the needs for identity, self-esteem, creativity, self-expression, and personal freedom. They include the need for health, that is, nutrition, clean air and sexuality; safety, protection and shelter; and sustainability, that is: peace, permanence and the continuity of generations.
ATTAINING COMMUNITY CONTROL
In doing so, the churches realized that poverty and hunger are not to blame for a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of justice. However, since the poor are often unable to meet their own needs due to political, social and economic factors that hold them back, some northern churches have begun to talk about the concepts of solidarity and partnership with southern churches (Mensah, 1993).
ACHIEVING ECONOMIC SELF-RELIANCE
The ideology behind this is that if each individual is self-reliant, the village will be self-reliant, and if all the villages are self-reliant, the district will be self-reliant. If the districts are self-reliant, then the region is self-reliant, and if the regions are self-reliant, then the entire nation is self-reliant.
BUILDING A COMMUNITY CULTURE
To fulfill these goals, religious organizations must establish a supportive environment in cooperation with the government. The possibilities of exploitation between one faith and another / faith must be reduced to zero.
BECOMING ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE
This may be among the reasons for the lack of understanding of the importance of the project by the Ukwega community. How would you rate the church's role in promoting and supporting community income-generating activities.
APPROACHES TO DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
THE CHURCH AND THE LIVELIHOODS
Livelihood projects in Tanzania - Church sponsored projects. Small-scale
According to the ELCT Development Report (1991, p.5), the diocese receives direct funding from the Lutheran World Federation in support of the program. Such commercial farms ranged from a one hectare (4,900 square meters) field to three acres (14,700 square meters) of the selected commercial crop.
Livelihood projects in other East African countries - Church sponsored
Other community members must be served by other churches and this leads to replication of most of the programs in the same area of operation. Livelihood projects in the rest of the world - Church-sponsored projects Experience from Indonesia, Gambia and from many West African countries shows.
Livelihood projects in the rest of the world - Church-sponsored projects
It is this predicament that causes the church management and program supervisors to be biased and give preference to members of their affiliation, followed by those of the same faith. This is the church's mission: to be the light of the earth, which of course means in this sense to serve all humanity and practice evangelism through their actions.
SUMMARY OF CHAPTER THREE
Focusing on only a few members of any community will never combat poverty in the wider sense, nor will it distinguish the present church from the missionary church which created classes among the people of the states, the spirit of individualism, egoism as well as did not promote favoritism within. family members who later created capitalist African societies. The ultimate exhortation and perhaps the most painful command that Jesus gave to the church was: Love your enemies.
INTRODUCTION 59
Considering the nature of the problem and the type of data required, the study was a qualitative research. They seek insight rather than statistical analysis, while Merriam and Simpson (1995) and Bailey (1990) see qualitative research as an umbrella term covering a wide range of different forms of qualitative research.
RESEARCH DESIGN
What to sample, how many people to be involved in interviews, the answering of questionnaires must be decided. It is also decided whether questionnaires will be structured or semi-structured and how to handle non-responses or response errors.
SAMPLING CRITERIA USED
Purely theoretical thesis: This type of thesis is constructed by working on two key areas in terms of what types of sources are to be consulted and how such sources will be deployed. Informed decisions were made about which methods of measuring livelihoods to use and exactly who to interview.
METHODS AND TOOLS OF DATA COLLECTION
Methods of data collection
It was of interest to the researcher to find out whether such perceptions could lead to the failure of the project. Due to good health, most of the deliveries in the project catchment area are safe and sound.
Too1 of data collection
DATA ANALYSIS
THE POPULATION OF STUDY
These included fifteen households that received heifers from the project; sponsor; the church; members of the public, including ten people not involved in the project, and two village health officials (one medical assistant and one rural health worker). Both sponsor and healthcare facility participants were purposively selected to meet the requirements of the study (Merriam and Simpson, 1995, p.l. 09), while members of the general public and those of the direct beneficiaries were randomly sampled.
VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY
The two measurement determinants of qualitative research are analyzed from the perspective of the above definitions. The use of the focus group discussion can therefore be seen as a determination of reliability.
SUMMARY OF CHAPTER FOUR
- Approaches used to plan church based and or initiated projects
- Proj ect administration
- Entrepreneurial Skills
- Heal th and Food Security
10% of the total respondents said: "Members were drawn from the main clans of Ipalamwa, Ukwega and Kimala villages." Based on the response of church representatives (implementing agencies) to the question 'Who are your main supporters?' findings showed that the implementing agency received funding from six different organizations.
SUMMARY OF CHAPTER FIVE
The church focus group interview showed that the needs of the community were many and that the church as a faith organization did not have the capacity to meet such needs. Lack of qualified staff: Church focus group interviews indicated that the church lacked staff capable of organizing, planning and supervising community-based income-generating projects.
INTRODUCTION 86
Planning and project administration
In most cases, the project failed in Ukwega village due to abuse of power. In such circumstances, people are afraid to join such projects, especially when they realize that the project is linked to the hidden agendas of the implementing agency.

RECOMMENDATIONS
For better performance, the diocese and the church in general must refrain from using cheap and unskilled personnel. Finally, there is a need for the Diocese and the church in general to adopt the Sustainable Living Approach in its planning process.
AREAS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH
Finally, there is a need for this aspect to further explore the use of the SL approach in church-initiated and/or sponsored projects. Watkins, c., 1993: The Church as a 'Special' Case: Ecclesiology Commentaries on Church Governance, Modern Theology.
