Institutional framework, resource management, organizational conflict and implementation of poverty alleviation projects in Uganda: A case of NAADS Projects in Wakiso District.

Abstract

The research study focused on establishing the relationship between Institutional framework, organizational conflict, resource management and implementation of poverty eradication projects in Uganda. It was prompted by reports of poor implementation of poverty alleviation projects in Uganda. The specific objectives were to determine the relationship between Institutional Framework and project implementation, to find out the relationship between Institutional Framework and Resource management, to examine the relationship between Institutional framework and Organizational Conflict, to examine the relationship between Resource management and Project implementation and to establish the relationship between Organizational Conflict and Project Implementation. Conceptually, a framework was developed by the researcher from the available literature relating to Institutional framework, Resource management, organizational conflict and project implementation. A cross sectional research design was used. Views about Institutional framework, Resource management, organizational conflict and implementation of poverty alleviation projects in Uganda – a study of Naads projects were gathered from 267 respondents, secondary data was also used to supplement the views. Findings showed that there were significant positive relationships between Institutional framework, Resource management, and project implementation. The findings further indicated statistically, that there was no significant relationship between organizational conflict and project implementation. This implied that there is little effect institutional framework in place has on organizational conflict. It was concluded that Institutional framework and resource management should be emphasized in implementing NAADS projects to alleviate poverty in Uganda.
