The lack of stakeholder participation in resource mobilization and decision-making has an influence on the longterm viability of donor-funded potato projects in the Kabale district. This study required a prior study of the cross-sectional survey in order to lead to expected outcomes. 75 respondents provided information, and we integrated quantitative and qualitative analysis. The analysis, which was conducted at three separate levels, utilized descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate approaches. The descriptive analysis required the presentation of just one variable and its properties, frequency tables were used to illustrate the data. A Pearson correlation matrix was used to analyze the bivariate correlations between the dependent variable and the predictor components. At the multivariate level, the dependent variable was regressed against the updated predictor factors of sustainability of government projects. The results of a regression analysis showed that resource mobilization from stakeholders has a positive impact on the effectiveness of potato initiatives in Kabale District (coef =-0.890, p-value = 0.000). The main finding of this study is that resource mobilization by stakeholders has a substantial impact on the sustainability of potato projects. The study recommends putting greater attention on implementing stakeholder resource mobilization by defining the provision of capital, human resources, and availability of land in order to assure the sustainability of potato projects.

The study employed a correctional sectional research design. It involved quantitative and qualitative methods which enabled the study to evaluate the relationship between the study variables. A sample of 105 respondents were selected using simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. The quantitative and qualitative data from the respondents was analyzed using SPSS Version 21.0 and thematic analysis respectively. Quantitative results in form of descriptive statistics, correlations and regressions were presented in tables based on the study objectives. The study found out that strategy management, has a positive significant relationship with organizational performance of SACCOs (r = .962, P≤.01). With these findings, the study makes a contribution of providing empirical evidence that has been widely absent to channel the presently zealous discuss...

Businesses at all levels that use social media marketing (SMM) see a considerable increase in their output. This study’s objective is to identify the factors that significantly help Ugandan SMEs implement SMM techniques to enhance their commercial performance. Here, statistical models are utilized to analyze how the age and gender of SMEs owners as moderating variables affect the adoption and performance of SMEs in Uganda. A theoretical model that is based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) theories has been put out as part of a specific conceptual framework. The following indicators are used to evaluate the perf...

Resourcefulness is being more than brightit is being skilled to recognize solutions in complicated problems without giving up while discovering new things along the way. Youth resourcefulness is one of the greatest assets in any nation. Youths are not just upcoming leaders; instead, they are the most significant investment for the development of any country. Youth serve as a good measure of the extent to which a country can reproduce. Their vitality, accountability, and capacity in society correlate positively with any country's development. Youths are significant in socioeconomic and political development so much that any nation needs to consider the youth in their policy developments and education sectors. As a predominantly youth nation, Malawi must consider a purposeful, focused, well-articulated, and well resourceful national youth development policy to develop this country. The study aimed at investigating if secondary education produces resourcefulness in the youths. The data used qualitative and quantitative research methods and interviews with technical and vocational students subsample to test and analyze the study's hypotheses in Lilongwe District.

As error is to human, disputes are inevitable but should be resolved amicably. With a focus on higher institutions of learning justice administration and management is handy in managing competition and so profit maximization especially in the current privatization of higher education. The study aimed at designing a prototype for universities which ultimately helps local citizens to interpret law. Six universities were purposively selected and a cross sectional and design science research methodology employed. The study found that if improved the proposed justice management system would significantly reduce the prevailing challenges of case backlog, losses and postponed hearing records, timely and responsiveness of summons among others. However, in future the small messaging system (SMS) enabled systems could also be considered together with translator into major local languages.

A cross-sectional research design, which used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to collect and analyze data, was adopted. Both simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select 117 respondents from 174 subjects. Questionnaires and personal interviews were used to collect data from respondents. Frequencies and percentages were used to analyze quantitative data, while direct quotes from interviews conducted among key informants formed the basis for qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis was aided by software for document analysis (SPSS V 20.0). The study found out that service delivery was the most commonly used financial accountability mechanism, followed by financial reporting, expenditure control and budget. The paper therefore, concluded that service delivery is the most used mechanism of financial ac...
