The purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between resource mobilization strategies, management and control and the success of CBOs in Mbarara district. The study was prompted by numerous reports on the failure by most CBOs to realize their goals and objectives. The study employed a cross sectional research design where data was collected using a close ended questionnaire,Correlation and regression designs were also adopted to explain the relationship between the study variables in accordance to the objectives. The results from the study showed that there is a significant positive relationship between resource mobilization strategies and the success of CBOs, resource mobilization strategies and management and control and the success of CBOs in Mbarara. Furthermore, the results revealed that resource mobilization is a better predictor of success of CBOs in Mbarara district (0.592) than management and control (0.092). This indicates that in order to realize increased success stories in CBOs, much emphasis should be focused on resource mobilization strategi

As such , the researcher recommends that CBO leaders and partners should expand on their resource mobilization strategies beyond writing proposals and winning grants thereby adopting recent opportunities provided by technology through hosting websites and social media handles, as well as operating income generating activities in order to achieve smooth and continuous operation of organizations in case funding delays. Management and controls of CBOs should practice transparency with the law, so that they are not caught outside thereby exercising exemplary approaches that set a benchmark. The study suggested that future researchers to use the longitudinal research approach on the study variables as well as interview guide, the topic should also be expounded to reflect the situation of the entire country
