    (Special Journal of Politics and Economic Sustainability, 2022) Turyasingura J.B.; Agaba M.; Orach-Meza F.; Zombire R.; Kyabarongo B.
    Background: Poor sustainability of funded potato projects occasioned by nonparticipation of potato farmers in local resourcing of funded potato projects continue to discourage donors from more investments because previously funded projects are not sustainable. Understanding the local participation-related project resourcing factors will be of profound significance in restoring the confidence of donors in the funding of potato projects. Objective: To determine the effect of participatory local resourcing on the sustainability of donor-funded potato projects in Kabale District. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a descriptive survey design, and it used potato farmers as the unit of analysis. Data were collected by administering questionnaires survey a sample population of 196 potato farmers. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. Results: Largely for all the paradigms of project resourcing (land, cost sharing, organic fertilizer and labour) donor funded potato projects have got challenges of sustainability Conclusion: Project resourcing affects the sustainability of donor-funded potato projects in Kabale District Recommendations: For effective sustainability of donor-funded potato projects, donors should allow potato project beneficiaries to participate in the project resourcing through the provision of land, inorganic manure, as well as cost-sharing so they know that, they have a stake in the project they are implementing.

    The impact of internal controls on SACCO performance in Rukiga, Uganda
    (Annals of Management and Organization Research, 2022) Kiconco, Patience; Agaba, Moses; Turyasingura, John Bosco; Kabagambe, Jesse David
    Purpose: The research on the internal controls of Rukiga SACCO was conducted in Rukiga District to examine the segregation of duties, determine the impact of independent checks, and assess the risk management on the financial performance of the organization. Research methodology: This research was carried out after the cross-sectional survey. The bivariate correlations between the predictor components and the dependent variable were examined using a Pearson correlation matrix, and a linear regression model was used to fit the data. Results: The regression model results showed that segregation of duties (R=762), independent checks (R=676), and risk management (R=899) had beneficial influence on Rukiga SACCO performance. Furthermore, the performance was impacted by risk management, separation of roles, and independent checks. Limitations: The structured questionnaire, which was administered by the participant, served as the primary data collection tool. The probability of non-responses occurred due to the loss of control over the questionnaire after submission to respondents. This situation had a significant impact on the data analysis and the generalizability of the findings. Contribution: Task segregation, independent auditing, and risk management should be considered to achieve loan portfolio expansion, profitability development, and market share increase, which were crucial elements of Rukiga SACCO performance.
