The study investigated the effect of community participation on sustainability of livelihood projects at AAH U in Bweyale Town Council. The objectives that guided the study were concerned with analyzing the relationship between community participating in planning, community participating in implementation and community participating in monitoring and sustainability of livelihood projects at AAH U in Bweyale Town Council. The study followed a cross sectional survey research design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The sample size was 179 respondents and the sampling techniques employed were; simple random sampling and purposive sampling consequently, the data collection methods were questionnaire, interview, FGDs, documentary reviews and observation methods. The data was analyzed using pearson’s correlation co-efficient techniques. The findings revealed a positive relationship between community participating in planning and sustainability of livelihood projects(r= 0.695; p =0.000<0.01), a positive relationship between community participating in implementation and sustainability of livelihood projects (r= 0.747, p =0.000<0.05) and a positive relationship between community participating in monitoring and sustainability of livelihood projects(r= 0.674, p =0.000<0.05) at AAH U in Bweyale Town Council. Researcher concluded that community participating in planning, community participating in implementation and community participating in monitoring had positive relationship with sustainability of livelihood projects. Recommendations of the study were; that communities should be involved in the planning, implementation and monitoring process of livelihood projects at AAH U at all levels and time.

The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of social cash transfers on the livelihood of vulnerable households in Kiboga District. The specific objectives of the study were: - study aims at achieving the following objectives: To determine the contribution of target of social cash transfers on livelihood of vulnerable households in Kiboga District; To examine how accessibility of social cash transfers contributes to the livelihood of vulnerable households in Kiboga District; and to establish how delivery of the social cash transfers contributes to livelihood of the vulnerable households in Kiboga District. The study used a cross-sectional survey design, engaging both qualitative and quantitative data collection approaches to address the research problem. Both simple random and purposive sampling was used to select the respondents. The population size was 3859, with a sample of 374 respondents selected. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented in tabular form. Findings discovered that target, accessibility and delivery of social cash transfers all had a positive and statistically significant relationship with delivery coming out as the strongest of all variables that contributed to livelihood of vulnerable households. The study findings pointed out that there were some inclusion and exclusion errors, poor road networks and fraud in the implementation of the project. Therefore, it is recommended that Government should come up with proper systems to assist on citizens’ birth and death registrations for better planning and errors reduction. Accessibility to social cash transfers needs to be explored more to reduce the cost of access. Systems should also be put in place to curb the leakages that are involved in the delivery of the social cash transfers.

(Uganda Management Institute, 2014-07) NAKANWAGI, Susan Magdalene; Dr. Karyeija, Gerald (Supervisor); OLUKA, Prosy Nagitta (Supervisor)
The purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between planning, organizing, controlling and success of information and communication technology projects in Uganda Communications Commission (UCC). The study was guided by three objectives, that is; to determine the relationship between planning and project success, to find out the relationship between organizing and project success, and to examine the relationship between controlling and project success. A co-relational research design was employed using both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. A sample of 84 respondents participated in the study by answering the questionnaire and interview guide. Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Frequencies and percentages were used to show the distribution of staff on different items. Pearson’s Linear Correlation Coefficient (r) was used to determine the degree of relationship between the variables. The study findings showed that; planning, organizing and controlling have a positive relationship with project success in UCC, with Pearson correlation results showing; 0.555**, 510** and 728**, respectively. From the study findings, the researcher concluded that planning helps to ensure that project implementation is done within the established timeframe and within the stipulated budget; organising helps to ensure that people with the right experience and expertise are identified to run the projects; while controlling helps to ensure that there is effective monitoring and supervision of the projects, all of which would translate into project success. Thus, the researcher recommends that as part of planning, UCC needs to ensure the right infrastructure is in place and that the performance outcomes are stated clearly from the onset. In organising, UCC needs to pay attention to accountability, reliability and transparency, while effective controls should be ensured such that the established plans can be realized.
Project Management Practices and the Implementation of Human Immune Virus (HIV) Projects: A Case of The Aids Support Organisation (TASO) Uganda.
(Uganda Management Institute, 2016-01) MIREMBE, Christine; Dr. Karyeija, Gerald (Supervisor); Mayanja, Christopher (Supervisor)
The aim of the study was to find out the relationship between project management practices and the implementation of HIV projects. The specific objectives of the study included to find out the effect of project design on the implementation of HIV projects, to find out the contribution of project staffing on the implementation of HIV projects and to examine the contribution of monitoring and evaluation on the implementation of HIV projects. The case study design was used where an accessible population of 210 respondents was identified from which females were 109 (51.9%) and males were 101 (48.1%). Key findings obtained include the positive relationship between project design, project staffing, project monitoring and evaluation on the implementation of projects. Based on discussion, TASO were heavily reliant on donors in terms of financing the projects they implemented. The most frequently implemented projects were Behavioral Change Communication projects, Care and Support for the Sick. Most donors have stringent, time consuming and laborious reporting requirements. There is need for donors to identify simpler and friendlier reporting formats for the recipients of their funds without compromising their interests but at the same time not overburdening TASO. Areas of further Research could be to determine the challenges TASO faces during the implementation of HIV projects, The impact of HIV Projects on performance of TASO.
