Abstract
The study sought to establish the relationship between stakeholder engagement, resource mobilisation and success of projects in NGOs within Mukono district.
The study adopted across sectional and correlation quantitative design using a sample size 123 projects in the NGOs in Mukono District using where the manager, the Head of Finance/ Accountant and one project beneficiary were selected as unit of inquiry. The data was tested for reliability and validity, analyzed using SPSS version 23 and results presented based on the study objectives.
The correlation coefficient analysis revealed positive and significant relationships between stakeholder engagement and success of projects in NGOs within Mukono district, resource mobilisation and success of projects in NGOs within Mukono district which implies that when one variable is improved it leads to improvement of the other. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis indicates that stakeholder engagement and resource mobilisation have a greater influence on the success of projects in NGOs (Adj R2 of 0.43.6).
The research recommends the management of NGOs in Mukono should ensure that at all levels of project implementation and initiation, stakeholders are fully involved. This is because project success will not be guarantee if stakeholders are ignored and also implies that as long as the stakeholders are not part of the project that means that the project is on different agenda that differs from the original plan of project initiation. There is need to have a strong connection between the managers of the project and funders of the project. This is because without a strong relationship which helps in providing proper accountability of the funds used, there will be no need by the funders to continue injecting money in non-productive projects which would be benefiting only those earning salaries as a result of being employed there.
