FACTORS AFFECTING PROJECT PERORMANCE IN NGO’S IN THE CASE OF VETERINARES SANS FRONTIERES GERMANY (VSF GERMANY) ETHIOPIA

Abstract

With a focus on Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany (VSF Germany) in Ethiopia, this study examines the variables influencing project performance in NGOs. In order to offer practical suggestions for improving project outcomes, the research will examine both internal and external elements, such as organizational capability, stakeholder involvement, risk management, and sociopolitical obstacles. Structured surveys, and secondary sources were used to gather both qualitative and quantitative data using a mixed-methods approach. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to examine the data in order to find important trends and relationships. While cultural barriers, financial constraints, and environmental disruptions present challenges, the results show that effective communication, thorough risk management, alignment of activities with organizational goals, and active stakeholder participation significantly improve project success. Suggestions highlight the significance of customized training initiatives, strong foundations for monitoring and evaluation, as well as flexible approaches to deal with environmental and sociopolitical circumstances, all of which promote long-term project results and stakeholder trust.
