Abstract
The study is to evaluate the relationship between donor funding and performance of selected
NGOs in northern Uganda. The study based on the objectives of assessing the effect of
international donor funding on the performance of NGOs in Northern Uganda, examine the
influence of national donor funding on performance of Nongovernmental organizations and to
establish the effect of local donor funding on performance of NGOs in Northern Uganda. The
study problem was poor performance attributed to funding where some NGOs report that poor
funding account for the low levels of NGOs performance in Northern Uganda, the African youth
network and War child Canada whose major objectives are to recover the people previously
affected with war are not an exception. The study adopted a descriptive survey design in
analyzing donor funding and performance of NGOs in Northern Uganda, the study was based on
a target population of 178 with the sample population of 123 who were attained using purposive
sampling method of data collection. The study findings were that international donor funding had
a significant relationship with perfonnance of the NGOs. On the second objective national
funding had a significant relationship with the performance of NGOs in northern Uganda while
in the third objective there was also a significant relationship between the local donor funding
and performance of the NGOs in northern Uganda. The study concluded that donor funding for
the nongovermnental organizations in northern Uganda is low and inadequate. It further implies
that the state of funding that is available on international, national and local levels is not so
appropriate hence the need to improve the status quo for the funding in order to improve
performance. The researcher recommends that there is need to improve the state of donor
funding through improving international lobbying. Monitoring must be achieved at the
lowest possible cost to society that is compatible with a satisfactory level of prote~don,
improving the lobbying by establishing bilateral supports, line ministries also have an interest in
ensuring a minimum of coordination between the activities of multiple NGOs in their sector of
interest, improve the efficiency of the NGO sector, grant agencies should encourage a
transparent grant allocation process based purely on merit, cost-effective monitoring must
build on existing forms of monitoring need to establish the national policy framework that can
guide the nongovernmental organizations.
