Summary, etc. ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to assess the challenges affecting the local community’s involvement and participation in the District Education Strategic Planning (DESP) process towards quality basic education delivery in Salaga Town Council. Primary data was collected through in-depth interview and analysed qualitatively using deductions and inferences approach. From the study, the District Education Officers and the District Assembly Officers were of the view that inadequate funds/resource, difficult terrain and lukewarm attitude on the part of the community level stakeholders were the major challenges adversely affecting community stakeholder’s  participation in the DESP process. The local community stakeholders also attributed the challenges accounting for their non involvement in the DESP process to poor Communication between the district and local community stakeholders. The Ministry of Education should provide adequate funding and ensure effective two-way communication between the two groups of stakeholders to foster collaboration in the quest to improving the quality of basic education in Salaga area.
