Abstract
This study evaluated how Women Repatriate Association in Burundi (WRAB) performance was affected by
mobilization of resources, objectives being: to explicitly find out the influence of acquisition of financial
resource on performance of WRAB, to assess the effect of mapping human resources on performance of
WRAB and to gauge the influence of acquisition of physical resources on performance of WRAB. Resource
based theory by Wernerfelt (1984), resource mobilization theory by Buechler (2009) and Goldratt’s Theory of
Constraints (1984) will be used to explain the study. The study included both quantitative as well as
qualitative methods of research. The population targeted for the study included a hundred personnel from
the 6 projects under the Women Repatriate Association of Burundi, among them officials, coordinators, and
leaders in the association. A sample of 80 respondents from WRAB projects, 57 responded indicating a
response rate of 71.25%. The data were examined for dependability, analyzed with SPSS V23, and the results
were presented in accordance with the specified aims. Results positively associated financial resources with
success in project performance, a significantly positive relation between human resources and project
performance, and a very significant yet beneficial relationship between physical resources and WRAB
performance. Overall findings revealed that financial resources, human resources and physical resources
explained 36.6 % of the variance in success of WRAB. In addition, human capital revealed a stronger predictor
of performance compared to financial resources and physical resources. Therefore, the study made a
recommendation that, the management of WRAB projects should put more emphasis on recruiting
knowledgeable, skilled, capable and professional employees to realize effective performance. Additionally,
extra research may be conducted to identify additional predictors of performance among Burundi NGO
projects.
