Assessing funding and support for development projects : a comparative study of Kenya and South Africa.
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to assess funding and support provided for
development projects in Kenya and South Africa. The focus was to identify
comparisons and differences in development, funding and national development
priorities in both countries.
The study was carried out in Kenya and South Africa. Through purposive
sampling, six organizations were selected as the units of analysis. Data was
collected by means of questionnaires, interviews, national policies and written
records.
Six major themes emerged from the data collected. They included (a) the
purpose and internal structure of the organization (b) programs and projects
supported (c) sustainability and continuation (d) internal and external factors
affecting the organization (e) conditions (f) the aid-chain.
The findings indicated that despite the differences in both countries, poverty
remained a national priority. In both countries, factors such as inflation rates,
conditions tied to aid and internal and external factor affected the development
organizations and their operations. Suggestions were made to development
organizations for optimal development.
