The study used a case study research design to determine the strategies from a total sample of 23 comprising 10 Headmasters, 01 Ward Councilor, 02 Ward Educational Officers, and 10 School Board Chairpersons. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The study found that ineffective governance, limited community capacity, and financial constraints hinder the sustainability of government-funded school projects in Morogoro. To address these challenges, capacity-building, improved transparency, and financial support mechanisms are recommended to enhance community participation and project management.
