Project evaluation practices on performance of non- governmental organizations in Uganda: a case of wakisa ministries

Abstract

Evaluation systems are nowadays vital for the growth and development performance of every NGO in Uganda. The performance of most NGOs is donor driven and most of the monitoring and evaluation carried out by these NGOs is merely to impress donor and show them the need for projects funding and facilitation since it’s a requirement but the outcomes and outputs of these projects appear as smears of honey on lips yet the performance of these projects can’t easily be seen on ground. This study will be carried out in order to examine how project monitoring and evaluation influences project performance of selected NGOs in Kampala in Uganda. The objective of this study is to analyze how monitoring and evaluation systems greatly impacts on project performance of NGOs in Uganda, to analyze the relevance of monitoring and evaluation trainings on capacity building of project performance of NGOs in Uganda and to examine how baseline surveys will enhance project performance of NGOs in Uganda It will be carried out using mixed approach with a descriptive survey method. An inferential and descriptive method of data collection, analysis and interpretation will be used. A proportionate sampling method will be used to cluster organization members in groups. Primary data will be collected with aid of semi structured questionnaires with well guided questions constructed based on the study objectives and research question put herein, and studying participant observations. The study will utilize the use of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data will be collected using structured questionnaires disturbed randomly basing on proportionate sampling techniques. This will be done after getting clearance from MKU and NGO selected organizations upon submitting introductory letters and ERC certificates. Analysis of primary data will be done qualitatively with aid of descriptive statistics in form of charts and frequency table after categorizing, examining and testing it upon empirically creating deductions of the study. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze primary data basing on demographic set up of respondents. Correlation and regression analysis will be used to make a comparative study with both primary and secondary data basing on both dependent and independent variables.
