Abstract: The study investigated of the ability of Community Based Organisations (CBOs) to shoulder the responsibility of the development initiatives in their communities in Kassala State, eastern Sudan. Data was collected in May 2012 from six group discussions with CBO members’ in six local communities where the Community Development Fund project (CDF) operated.The study found that these CBOshad done well in extending basic services in their communities(provision of education, health and water services). However, their capacity to sustain activities was limited by thenature and magnitude of capacity building programmes they undertook, ability to manage financial assets and participatory approaches used to mobilise the community to participate in prioritising community needs and CBOs members’ selection. Under the current situation, the study recommended that the government and the related bodies should continue providing technical and financial resources to the CBOs in Kassala State.
