Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Civil society organizations in Kenya have not significantly initiated income generation to support the programs with an objective of creating financial sustainability. However, majority of civil society organizations still face major problems in starting and sustaining income generation activities. The study was a survey of the 25 civil society organizations operating in Matungu District of Kakamega County, Kenya. Qualitative and quantitative data were used. The main methods of data collection consisted of structured interviews and key informant interviews. Open ended questions in the structured questionnaire enabled the respondents to air their views that were not restricted to their perceptions. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the quantitative data and the findings are presented in tables of frequencies, and percentages. The study found out that the majority of civil society organizations get funding to run projects from local donations representing 41.2%. Donors’ stringent requirements are not favorable for income generation activities. The researcher recommended that the donors should be engaged by civil society organizations to agree on conditions that make is easy for Civil society organizations to access funds without compromising or risking the funds from donors.
