Findings of the study revealed that Encouraging community members participation, mobilising community members regarding the engagement and support, providing the needed support in the community to facilitate the smooth implementation, and collaborating with the Non-formal education initiatives providers in the community so as to aid easy implementation of their programme in the community, are the role do community stakeholders, including (government agencies, NGOs, educational institutions and local leaders) play in supporting and enhancing Non-formal educational initiatives for sustainable development in Oredo Local Government Area.
