dc.description.abstract | This research study was carried out to examine the utilization of donor funding by
Non-governmental organizations within a contractual period, identify the
contributing factors and the effects on economic development of the intended
beneficiaries. In order to achieve its objectives, this research used a descriptive
research design and a survey of fifteen NGOs with a total of forty five projects
implemented in the last six years, the response rate in terms of organizations was
73% and 64% of the projects. The data used is primary and secondary which were
collected through structured questionnaires. Once the pertinent data was collected,
the researcher carried out editing for errors and omission before analyzing the
date. The analysis of the same was done through frequency and percentages
calculation and presented in tables and charts. The study established that there is
59 % underutilization of the funding as per budget level usage, 91% of the
sampled organizations requested for a no-cost extension period to enable them
complete the activities and a further 27% returned the fund balance to the donors.
This means beneficiaries were unable to receive the services/goods as intended
and or if they do, it is at a high cost during the no-cost extension period; hence
impact negatively in their economic development. | en |
