Title: NGO intervention measures, performance and trends of women-operated MSEs in Eldoret Municipality, Kenya Authors: Tubey, Ruth Jelagat Abstract: This paper discusses the interventionary measures undertaken by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in relation to the performance of enterprises operated by women entrepreneurs. It highlights growth trends as regards sales volumes, profits and job creation, accumulation of assets and record keeping in women's micro and small enterprises (MSEs). The study was an expost-facto, exploratory survey that used questionnaires, interviews, and observation in data collection among 195 sampled women entrepreneurs in Eldoret Municipality. The data was analyzed quantitatively using descriptive and inferential statistics such as Regression analysis and chi-square distribution. It was found out that there is a positive linear relationship between NGO interventions and the performance and growth of women-operated MSEs. It was recommended that NGOs should continue assisting women entrepreneurs, increase credit levels, put more emphasis on training and enhance business counselling/mentoring follow-up sessions.

Title: Employment expectations among generation y employees in Kenya Authors: Tubey, Ruth J.; Kurgat, Alice; Rotich, JK Abstract: The entry of generation Y employees into the labour market has added to the growing complexity of the Kenyan and global workforce. This complexity is reflected in their values, beliefs, ethical considerations, cultural, ethnic and religious affiliation, gender and sexuality among other diversities. Interpreted differently, these diversities have implications on recruitment and selection procedures, job design, reward mechanisms, motivational programmes, productivity and overall performance of organizations. This paper explores the attitudes, hopes, aspirations, dreams and ambitions of generation Y (also referred to as millennial) employees in Kenya in a bid to understand their employment expectations. It is established that the millennials expect their employers to offer welfare services and challenging

Title: Factors Influencing Management of CDF Projects A Case of Ainamoi Constituency, Kericho County Authors: Tubey, Ruth J. Abstract: Constituency development fund (CDF) is a decentralized fund which was established by the Kenyan government based on the belief that the local level government has a better understanding of community needs. Since its establishment in 2003, the management of CDF faces varied challenges which include the organization structure and project identification. The purpose of the study was to assess factors that influence management of CDF, with a focus on Ainamoi constituency in Kericho District, Rift Valley Province, Kenya. The study’s objectives were to: establish the appropriateness of organization design in management of the CDF and to identify the criteria used by CDF to identify projects for funding. A survey research design was adapted because of its rich provision of quantitative and numerical data. The study sampled 137 respondents, including 132 Project Management Committee (PMC), one District Development Officer (DDO), one MP and 3 members of the CDF committee. Questionnaires and interview schedule were the tools used to collect data. Analysis of data was done through coding, tabulation, assessing the means using percentage and explanations. Study results found that people who are managing CDF projects are not conversant with its management rules. The study also established that funds allocated to CDF projects are not enough to complete the projects in one financial year. The study made several recommendations including that: CDF project identification should involve local communities; CDF projects should be funded to the maximum in one financial year as opposed to funding in bits for several financial years and PMCs should be trained on specific guidelines on CDF management

Title: Effectiveness of Monitoring and Evaluation of CDF Projects in Kenya. A case of Ainamoi Constituency Authors: Tubey, Rurh J. Abstract: Constituency Development Fund (CDF) came into existence in Kenya after the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) came to power with the enactment of CDF Act in 2003 but amended in 2007. The CDF forms one of the devolved funds channeled by central government. The CDF is aimed at spurring development in the constituencies. Over the last ten years (2003 œ 2012), various development have been achieved although there is continuous outcry from stakeholders on the management of the projects funded by CDF and this is blamed on ineffective monitoring and evaluation framework conducted by Constituency Development Fund Committee (CDFC). This paper looks at the effectiveness of monitoring and evaluation process on CDF projects in Ainamoi constituency, Kenya. A case study research design methodology is used where the target population comprises of CDFC members, selected constituents, Project Management Committee (PMC), and District Development Officer (DDO). The results of the study show that PMC, CDFC and external assessors are involved in monitoring and evaluation of projects with minimal participation of constituents. It was also evident that most of the recommendations from M and E were utililised with the responsibility of utilisation of M and E result being under the CDF office. The study recommends that frequent and holistic involvement of all stakeholders affected by projects funded by CDF need to be involved and ensure that the recommendations made from M and E report need to be utilised to the fullest.
