In developing countries, women’s participation in community affairs contributes to the creation of a strong economy and a stable society and enhances their quality of life. Despite its importance, there is no measure of the determinants of women’s participation in community development projects. We therefore administered a questionnaire about the factors affecting women’s participation in community development projects and verify the causal relationship. Three hundred randomly selected community members of Ywangan Township of Myanmar responded to a survey questionnaire. Seventeen measurement scales for six factors were validated through the exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Based on structural equation model estimation, attitudes to gender equality and incentives for participation were significantly associated with women’s participation in community development projects. One unexpected finding was that household responsibilities was positively associated with community participation, and access to information and training needs had no significant impact. Based on these results, theoretical and practical implications of women’s participation in Myanmar are presented.
