service delivery in Katakwi District-Uganda. It was guided by the overall objective of the
study that aimed at determining the contributions of civil society organizations to education
service delivery in Katakwi district. Three objectives of the study were used to guide the

contributions of civil society organizations to education service delivery and challenges
facing civil society organizations on engagement for education service delivery in Katakwi
district. The review of the literature was done based on the research objectives and the
information was generated from journals, publications and internet among others. The target
population for the study was 390 respondents, 40 Ngo heads, 300 teachers and 50
respondents from the school management committees. A total of 195 respondents were used
in the study. This comprised of 30 non-governmental heads, 150 teachers and 15 members of
school management committees in secondary schools in Katakwi district. The research

were presented in the form of tables and graphs. The research findings indicated that civil
society organizations contribute a lot on education service delivery mainly through
mobilization of both materials, financial and human resource to improve quality of education
in Katakwi district. The study concluded that there was need for civil society organizations to
mobilize resources and work in partnership with government. Recommendations were made
which included need for government, communities, stakeholders and donor partners to
appreciate the nature in which civil society organizations work to promote education and give
guide and support through funding. There is also need to appreciate the contributions of civil
society organizations on education service delivery and be supported by communities,
stakeholders, and government and donor agencies. There is need to share challenges faced by
civil society organizations on education service delivery by both communities, stakeholders,
government and donor agencies through advocacy meeting to arrive at lasting approaches to
the challenges faced on education service delivery. Finally civil society organizations need to
be involved in curriculum design such that educational programs go on smoothly without
interruption by civil society programs. This will increase syllabus coverage and lead to
better performance. Future researchers and even students are encouraged to research on
impact of community involvement and education service delivery.
