    Technological Financial Systems and on the Financial Efficiency of Humanitarian Organizations in Kenya
    (Kenyatta University, 2025-10) Othigo, Victor Ochieng
    The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of technological financial systems on the financial efficiency of humanitarian organizations in Kenya. Specifically, the study sought to determine the influence of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, assess the effect of cloud-based accounting software, and examine the role of blockchain technology in enhancing financial efficiency. A descriptive and correlational research design was employed. The target population comprised approximately 700 employees drawn from local and international humanitarian organizations in Kenya, with a sample selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between technological systems and financial efficiency. ERP systems had the greatest influence (β = 1.8436, p < 0.001), followed by blockchain technology (β = 1.2845, p = 0.007) and cloud-based accounting software (β = 0.9273, p = 0.0239). The model exhibited strong explanatory power (Adjusted R² = 0.7857; F = 67.4243, p < 0.001), indicating that 79.85% of the variance in financial efficiency was explained by the three technologies. The study concludes that ERP, cloud-based, and blockchain systems each significantly enhance transparency, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness in financial management. It recommends that NGOs prioritize ERP adoption, strengthen cloud data security, and pilot blockchain initiatives to improve accountability and donor confidence
