| dc.description | Community Based Organizations (CBOs) are vital health system stakeholders because they offer a variety of highly valued programs and services to the communities in which they operate. They usually offer aid and services to the poorest, most stigmatized, and most socially disadvantaged people (Barton-Villagrana et al., 2012). For instance, community-based HIV/AIDS organizations usually offer resources, services, and care directly to a range of vulnerable populations, including commercial sex workers, drug users, and the homeless (BartonVillagrana et al., 2012). Along with providing essential health services and initiatives, they also play important advocacy roles, all with the primary goal of improving the health systems in which they operate (Blas et al., 2018; Carey & Braunack-Mayer, 2009). While the significance of community-based organizations in health systems has been relatively expressed, there is scanty literature regarding their role in SRH service delivery in developing countries particularly Uganda where quality of health services has remained poor. In regard to this, the present study sought to assess the impact of community-based organizations participation on effective Sexual and Reproductive Health service delivery in Uganda, using Buyende Town Council as a case study. The backdrop of the study, problem statement, aims, research questions, scope, rationale, significance, and conceptual framework are all displayed in this part. | |
| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of participation of community- based organizations on effective Sexual and Reproductive Health service delivery in Buyende Town Council Buyende District. A correlational design was used with quantitative research approach. The target population was 250, comprising of employees from CBOs, health facilities and beneficiaries of the CBOs in Buyende Town Council, from which a sample size of 154 was selected using a formula by Yamane (1967). Data was collected from a final sample of 128 respondents using administered questionnaires, and analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and linear regression analysis. The study findings indicated that community-based organizations (r = 0.530**, p < 0.001); CBOs’ advocacy services (r = 0.568**, p < 0.001); and community- based organizations monitoring (r = 0.686**, p < 0.001), are significant and positively correlated with Sexual and Reproductive Health service delivery in Buyende Town Council, and jointly account for 52.7% of the variations in Sexual and Reproductive Health service delivery (Adj R2 = 0.527). The study concluded that community-based organizations participation practices play a significant role in improving Sexual and Reproductive Health service delivery. It is recommended that management of health facilities should embrace and strengthen collaboration with community-based organizations so as to benefit from their financial support, impactful advocacy services and monitoring of health services, as key ingredients for better health care outcomes. | |
