Exploration activities of Oil companies in most communities in Nigeria have negatively impacted on the environment where they are performing their business activities without adequate compensation to the community people. Such negative impacts include; gas flaring, oil spillages, noise and air pollution and so on and these affect the flora and fauna. Even whem compensations are paid, they are not commensurate to the damage and this result in communal conflicts, overheated and prolonged agitations, frustrations, loss of lives and properties and consequently unhealthy relationship between the oil companies and their host communities. This is basically as a result of community people possessing little or no awareness of the terms of the corporate social responsibility to be performed by all participating stakeholders especially the oil companies. This paper therefore examines how capacity building programmes can be employed as a means to equipping and increasing the awareness of community people with necessary information on corporate social responsibility of oil companies for sustainable community development in Nigeria. Some of such programmes include adult literacy education, extension education, conferences, seminars, talk shows, education consultancy just to mention a few. The paper therefore suggests that community members should be adequately informed on existing aspects of the corporate social responsibilities of oil companies operating in their locality and that these oil companies perform their corporate social responsibility to their host communities effectively in order to foster sustainable community development.

As the quest for multi-stakeholders’ approach to the development of communities and societies across Africa becomes intensified in view of reduced government pro-active development efforts due to dwindling resources and high competing demands from other sectors, the paper examines available opportunities for community development through CSR programs of multinational corporations. It observes that corporate social responsibility programs of multinational corporations have not made meaningful development impacts despite the fact that corporate social responsibility platforms are veritable means of fast-tracking development at community level across Africa. It concludes by identifying strategies for enhancing corporate social responsibility impacts and possible areas of interventions for community development across Africa through multinational corporations’ corporate social responsibility platforms.

Holder’s of investments in LDCs demand annual returns for continued support – profits are taken out of the country or guaranteed by tax concessions. Unwillingness of foreign firms to train local people to take over management positions. Originality/value – This paper explores how the need to address sustainability issues has affected communities, and whether community development initiatives have been effective in contributing to more sustainable communities.

Sebagai organisasi bisnis yang hidup berdampingan dengan masyarakat, maka sebuah perusahaan perlu menjalankan konsep triple bottom line (Profit, Planet, People). Program CSR berbasis Community Development merupakan salah satu saluran komunikasi antara perusahaan dengan lingkungan. Sehingga, diharapkan mampu memberikan dampak positif bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat sekaligus menciptakan citra positif perusahaan di mata stakeholder. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh efektivitas program CSR Desa Wisata Buah Diwak terhadap citra PT Industri Jamu Dan Farmasi. Tbk. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada kelompok tani. Melalui hasil olah data, diketahui bahwa nilai R square sebesar 0.101 dan nilai signifikansi sebesar 1.130. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengaruh antara efektivitas program CSR dengan citra perusahaan belum maksimal. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya karena program CSR baru berjalan selama 3 tahun. Padahal hasil dan manfaat dari program CSR baru dapat dirasakan secara langsung oleh kelompok tani minimal dalam jangka waktu 5 tahun.

The Impact

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an integral part of firms’ strategies in their effort to increase their positive impact on society. This study investigates the impact of a CSR initiative, known as “The LAB Project”, implemented by the TITAN– Sharrcem Company, on the rural community of Hani I Elezit in Kosovo. The LAB project aims to support the establishment and operation of agricultural and food-related start-ups and, most importantly, to ensure their sustainability. The sample of the study consists of 174 area residents. This research examines local residents’ perceptions about a) the TITAN-Sharrcem operations in the area, b) the LAB project’s main contribution to the local community,  c) the project’s overall performance, d)  the profitability of the start-ups created by the project, and e)  the project’s effect on the community’s quality of life. Overall, the results reveal that the project has set the foundation for the community’s sustainable development. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research on the effect of such initiatives in the region.
