| dc.description.abstract | This is the abstract for the study titled: CSO’s contribution to poverty reduction in Bosaso, Puntland. The research questions were what is the contribution of CSOs towards poverty reduction in Bosaso. Secondly, what is the contribution of CSOs towards food security, household incomes, infrastructure development and service delivery in Bosaso? Third, what is the extent of the effectiveness and efficiency of CSOs in Bosaso? Finally, what are the challenges faced by CSOs and how do they impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the CSOs in Bosaso. The methodology used to collect data combined qualitative and quantitative data methods. Excerpts were cited as evidence when making the qualitative analysis. Quantitative data was entered into SPSS and frequency tables and pie charts generated accordingly. The software also helped to correlate the various variables as per the question. The key findings indicate that CSOs in Bosaso are involved in poverty reduction. The majority could cite at least two examples of CSOs involved in an aspect of poverty reduction. There are however a few challenges, key which is inadequate funding. The low technical skills of staff may also have impact on service delivery according to this study. That said, the study concludes that CSOs are playing a significant part in poverty reduction. It is the key recommendation therefore that they need to continue. Furthermore, they need to be supported by government with user friendly legislation, say on taxation, It is hoped this study will be of benefit to other researchers, CSO managers and government planners who may all find it useful. | en_US |
