    abstract = {The main thrust of the study was to investigate, the most potent and relevant Community Participation (CP) strategy for curbing maternal mortality among the O-kun Yoruba of Ijumu community, Kogi State, Nigeria. Data for the study were generated mainly through multi-stage sampling technique by the use of questionnaire administered to 65 respondents randomly selected from seven communities in Ijumu Local Government are Univariate, Pearson product moment co-efficient of correlation and preference-based techniques were used for data analysis. The major finding of the study revealed that community participation strategy by any people or community generally, rests mainly on economic-rational consideration. The study therefore, recommends a paradigm shift from the conventional strategies of community participation in curbing maternal mortality in developing countries to a re-focus on economic-rational factors.}
