Source text:

Un desafío ha sido lograr la participación de toda la comunidad y el aporte comunitario. En muchas comunidades, toda la responsabilidad de manejo de los proyectos de agua recae en pocas personas.

My try:

or maybe:

Some of the challenges faced by the project have included engaging the whole community to participate and provide its contributions.
