  1. Stakeholder Involvement and Performance of Poverty Eradication Projects in Uganda: A study of NAADS Projects in Mukono District Presented at the 10th ORSEA Conference, University of Nairobi, October 16-18, 2014 By Hassan B., Kusemererwa C., Ssekakubo j., Ntayi J M. and Ngoma.M MUBS

  2. STRUCTURE • Introduction • Conceptual frame work and objectives • Methods • Results • Conclusion and managerial implication

  3. INTRODUCTION The government set up various projects to eradicate poverty in line with the MDGs • Entandikwa sheme (small business startups) • National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) • Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF) • Bona Bagaggawale (prosperity for all) • The projects have however registered 60% failure rate, with some projects in some districts registering 100% failure (Auditor general’s report of 2008 and 2012)

  4. Consequently, the poverty level has remained high with over 31% of the population still living below a dollar a day. • Studies on NAADS projects are silent about stakeholder involvement • This study therefore bases on stakeholder theory to argue that low normative stakeholder involvement in NAADS projects could provide a better explanation to this phenomena.

  5. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Stakeholder Involvement • Project performance • Scope • Cost • Project quality • Project objectives Involvement by Role Involvement by Setting Project Centrality

  6. METHODS • Cross sectional, positivistic and correlation designs. • Using Bartlet et.al (2001) table, a sample of 323 out of a population of 2,062 projects • Multi-stage random sampling • 356 Farmers and 14 project coordinators were selected • Adapted existing validated instruments • Pre-tested instrument • Reliability tests were conducted for the instruments • SPSS V16 was used for data analysis

  7. Measurement (5-point scale)

  8. Zero- Order Correlations

  9. Hierarchical regression

  10. CONCLUSION AND MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS • The correlation and regression models show that stakeholder involvement strongly and positively correlates with and predict performance of NAADS projects. • At the policy level, there is need to increase project involvement by role, setting and project centrality of stakeholders of NAADS projects by ensuring that project coordinators consult and discuss with farmers the activities they can best carryon in order to build primary stakeholders interest and emotional attachment to NAADS projects

  11. Limitations of the Study • It was a cross sectional study • Concentrated on stakeholders of NAADS in Mukono district
