Abstract
The specific objectives of the study were; To find out whether leadership is a challenge
hindering implementation of strategic plans of NGOs; To investigate whether insecurity is a
challenge hindering implementation of strategic plans of NGOs; To determine whether culture is
a challenge hindering implementation of strategic plans of NGOs; To examine whether
infrastructure is a challeng~ hindering implementation of strategic plans of NGOs and to find out
whether availability of funds is a challenge hindering implementation of strategic plans of
NGOs.
The main tools of data c?llection were questionnaires and interviews. The researcher employed
the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) to analyze the data. The study used charts, bar
graphs and frequency histograms to present the results of analyzed data.
The study concluded that most NGOs source their funds from international donors, followed by
religious organizations, followed by governments, and lastly from individuals in that order; Most
of the NGOs were had available and adequate funding; and that the organizations had enough
equipment and that most of the organizations had enough space to offer all services required.
NGOs are therefore recommended to pay more attention to finding funds as they do to using
those funds. So that they can be able to meet their current program needs as well as expand their
program activities. They are also encouraged to improve on their planning techniques and hard
work that brought them success in their core activities and also tap donors for monetary and inkind
support. NGOs should also redesign program implementation strategies to include costrecovery
components whereby beneficiaries of the program pay part, and sometimes all.
