Abstract
The study was based on Resource mobilization theory. According to resource mobilization
theory, it is the NGO role to harnessing the disaffected energies, attracting money and
supporters, capturing the media’s attention, forging alliances with those in power, and creating
an organizational structure. The theory recognizes that resources required by NGOs in the form
of ~money~ are the most important one. Without this resource NGOs cannot activate the other
resources in the agency I community. In the market oriented economy like Kenya, it is the
monetary resource, which determines the expansion or contraction of other resources. This
theory assumes that without such resources, social movements cannot be effective and further
that dissent alone is not enough to engender any social change (Kendall 2006)
This theory was based on the assumptions that individuals are rational. Also, it views social
movements as a goal-oriented activity. Thus, following rational choice theory, individuals are
viewed as weighing the costs and benefits of movement participation arid deciding to act only
if benefits outweigh costs. When movement goals take the form of public goods, the free rider
dilemma has to be taken into consideration. Organization is more important than acquisition of
resources, or than resources themselves, Organization focuses on interactions between social
movement organizations (SMOs) and other organizations (other SMOs, businesses,
governments, etc.).
