Abstract
This study set out to investigate on World Vision Uganda Programme and
community development of West Budama county, Tororo District Uganda. It
was based on three research objectives as follows: (I) to identify the
demographic profiles of 531 respondents. (II) to examine the extent to which
WV programme has been implemented. (III) to determine the level of
beneficiaries' satisfaction as a result of WV's programme implementation in
the areas of study.
Research methodology. Quantitative research design was used
characterized by quantitative measurements and statistical analysis.
Descriptive survey and correlation research as types of quantitative design
were vital in the study as far as presentation of the findings were concerned.
findings: These revealed that the majority of the respondents were males,
married, and 41 years above. Certificate holders were the majority in the
study. It was also found out that most of the people in the research area
were involved in subsistence farming for survival.
The extent to which WV has implemented projects was found to be high as
shown by overall average mean 3.13. This confirmed that the level of
implementation was moderate. About the level of satisfaction by the
beneficiaries, the average mean was 2.8 interpreted as high, equivalent to
agree. This finding confirmed that the level of satisfaction was moderate.
Conclusion: In regards to the respondents' involvement in the study, WV has
had the right grouping since they are married and responsible in their
families. The findings from objective (II) and (III) indicated moderate out
come as result of over all average rating per table, interpretation being high
equivalent to agree. This means that despite of some doubt, WV has had
fairly good work done in the research area.
Recommendations: There is need for World Vision to net work with
Education ministry in order to improve the performance at the end of the
year. More sources of water need to be improved in order for beneficiaries to
avoid the water borne diseases. Microfinance was in place but as if it stopped
after sometime. Due to its merit at the HH, WV should reconsider starting it.
WV should work with the district authority in order to have the Health
situation improved. There is need to have joint planning between WV and
other stakeholders in the 3 sub counties of research. This will avoid
inconveniences.
