Influence of Resource Mobilization on Sustainability of Youth Group Projects in Mvita Sub-county, Mombasa County, Kenya

Abstract

This study aimed at analysing the impact of resource mobilization on the sustainability of youth group projects in Mvita Sub-County. The study’s variables included financial resource acquisition, human resource mapping, physical resource acquisition as well as community involvement in youth group projects in the Mvita Sub County. The descriptive survey design method guided this study. The study's target population was 55 respondents from youth group projects in Mvita Sub-County wards, made up of one committee member and two project officials for each of the selected youth group projects whereas a sample size of 48 respondents was established. A stratified sampling technique was used for this investigation. The researcher applied SPSS version 28 to examine facts. In the study's descriptive analysis, standard deviations, means, frequencies, and percentages were all employed. The acquisition of financial resources, the mapping of human resources, the purchase of physical resources, and community involvement were used to measure the sustainability of youth group projects. It was discovered that financial resource acquisition needs had a moderate overall influence on the sustainability of youth group projects. Physical resource acquisition had a minimal influence after human resource mapping and the moderately close follow-up of youth group initiatives. Women's groups should undertake human resource mapping in order to lower the amount of money spent on outside sources. The machinery, office supplies, and tools needed for women's groups to manage their projects should be available. Lastly, women's groups ought to involve the community in all stages of the execution of their programs.
