dc.description.abstractThe study carried out was on an assessment of the impacts of NGOs in poverty alleviation in Buwenge Sub County Jinja district. The purpose of the study was to establish the causes of poverty and indicators in Buwenge Sub County. The objectives of the study were to assess the impacts of NGOs in alleviating poverty in Buwenge Sub County and to establish the challenges and policies that are put in place by the government to fight against poverty. The study was covering the entire period from the inception of the poverty eradication action plan (PEAP) in 1997 to date. The main focus was to be the operational NGOs, the people living within the vicinity of these NGOs, staff of the NGOs and the community leaders. The findings also revealed that inadequate NGO staff was a problem. Thirty two respondents (23.5%) noted that NGO staff were very few compared to the beneficiaries. This meant that services could not be delivered to the intended beneficiaries as required. The findings of the study also indicted that improved hygiene among the people would reduce the problem of diseases. Money that would be spent on medical care would be directed to improve the standards of living of the people. For example, eating good food and using clean water were suggested. The study also concluded that a combination of all the above mentioned strategies would improve the work of NGOs towards poverty reduction. One strategy may not be successful in isolation but a combination of several strategies would lead to NGOs success in their struggle to reduce poverty, in Buwenge sub-county and other places of Uganda with the problem of poverty.en_US
