This study therefore assesses the challenges and prospects of infrastructure provision in Kwara State, Nigeria with a view to understanding the contributions of communities' efforts towards this venture. Specifically, the study identifies the number of communities that are between 5,000 and 20,000 people categorised as medium sized towns; identifies the basic infrastructure provided through community efforts and examines reasons for their provision by the communities. Quantitative method ofresearch was employed to analyse the data collected through random sampling administration to 688 respondents.
