Abstract

Non-governmental organizations in both developed and developing countries implement different types of outreach health services in collaboration with local health facilities and authorities to respond to the uneven distribution of health services. In most cases local health authorities can mobilize hospitals and their staff to support or perform health outreach-related activities in places that are difficult to reach through integrating program activities into the national health plan as a key factor for improving remote populations’ health outcomes on a large scale. The objective of the study was to establish the influence of resource mobilization for M&E on performance of programs funded by NGOs. The study was mixed method hence it was guided by cross sectional survey design and correlation design. The target population totaled to 367 from which a sample of 269 was obtained using stratified proportionate sampling and simple random sampling. Descriptive data was presented in frequencies and percentages, and central tendency was explained using the means and standard deviation for variability. The Karl Pearson Product Moment was used in correlational analysis. Test of hypothesis was done using linear. The null hypothesis was tested, and the following results found: (R2 = 0.437, t = 15.972, p = 0.000 < 0.05). The null hypothesis was thus rejected and concluded that resource mobilization for monitoring and evaluation has significant influence on performance of outreach programs funded by NGOs. The study, therefore, recommends policy interventions from the grant providers targeting outreach programs, and other stakeholders such as the government through the NGO Coordination Board ought to closely examine the various dimensions of M&E activities as a strategy to improve the impact made by such programs in Kenya.
