| Summary: | This study sought to determine the impact of resource mobilization by stakeholders on the viability of
government-funded agricultural initiatives, using a case study of the Kabale area. The lack of
stakeholder participation in resource mobilization and decision-making has an influence on the long term 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. |
