Abstract
The study intended to establish the relationship between Sub-Granting and
Effectiveness of Health Projects; the case of Aids Relief Services in Kampala,
Uganda. The study was guided by the four objectives which included
determining;- the demographic profile of the respondents ; level of successful
Subgranting management; Level of effectiveness of health projects and significant
relationship between level of successful subgranting and level of effectiveness of
Health projects in Kampala. Researcher made questionnaire was used to collect
data from 372 respondents selected purposively. A descriptive correlational, cross sectional
and ex post-facto design were used. Data analysis was done using
frequencies, percentages, means, and Pearson linear correlation coefficient (PLCC)
were used to analyse data. More than half of the study participants were female
(75.0%), Majority of the participants (33~O%) fall under the early adult stage of
life (25-29 old), had Bachelor holder (37.4%),married (33.O%), clinical officers
(37.4%), and had spend 3-4 years (30.9%). All aspects of subgranting were
found to be positively and significantly correlated with effectiveness of Health
projects. All aspects of subgranting were found to be High for example overall
(mean=3.15). All aspects of Effectiveness of Health projects were found to be
High for example overall (mean=3.24). The findings reveal that there is a
significant correlation between subgranting and effectiveness of service delivery of
health projects. The best way of subgranting is to have a manual for guiding and
follow up of the process inflow and outflows. The researcher recommended that;
the government of Uganda to strengthen the training programmes in effectiveness of
health institutions; Physical inspection; gathering physical evidence; providing
written requests ,examining documents, obtaining management and employees’
responses, strengthen the participation at community level, evaluate a general
Contractor, compare the information contained in the document with other known
information, improved feedback mechanisms among others. The staff must be
skilled, transparent and be able to work as a team. In form of international system
of contract management is required to ensure the rights, obligations and expectations
are monitored, feedback mechanization should be set and followed at all levels.
Lack of expired drugs in the store, good financial management, high community
participation and prompt responsiveness of subcontractors indicate effectiveness
of health projects in Kampala Central Division. Once the above aspects are
attended to, the subgranting will be a very useful vice in improving service
delivery of health projects.
