| dc.description.abstract | Social economy organizations (SEOs) operate
in the third sector economy squeezed between the private
and the public sectors, and focus on fulfilling social
missions rather than maximizing profits. The COVID-19
pandemic dramatically disrupted and reshaped the
global economic landscape of SEOs, including
Agricultural Non-governmental Organizations (ANGOs). This study sought to assess the effect of
collaborative practices on financial sustainability of ANGOs during Covid19 pandemic. The study was
anchored on Collaboration theory which advocates that
complex problems are best addressed through the efforts
of multiple stakeholders. Data on collaborative practices
including partnerships, alliances, community
engagement and resource sharing was obtained from
forty-two (42) A-NGO’s that had fully or partially
engaged in activities for at least one year preceding the
COVID19 pandemic. The study adopted a mixed
method research design to appraise the effect of
funding alliances. The study found A-NGOs that adopted
collaborative funding alliances as opposed to reliance on
traditional funding partners were more sustainable.
Specifically, the study found partnerships and alliances,
community engagement and resource sharing as
significantly essential for maintaining stable support for
ongoing operations and thus enhanced their financial
sustainability. The study recommended adoption of
organizational policies that encourage pooling of
resources; and drafting of formal guidelines where
already practiced to enhance their financial
sustainability. | en_US |
