ABSTRACT This study provides an overview of the legacy of NOOs in Kaliiro-Lyatonde and their current involvement in the Socio-Economic development of Kaliiro-Lyatonde. The question explored is: What are NGOs and other external aid organizations doing (and what else can they do) to set the groundwork for an environment that will foster and develop the self-sufficiency of the local population in Kaliiro-Lyatonde? Research results from a survey of aid providers show that the effectiveness of aid depends on the program and approach. Perspectives vary according to peoples’ approach to the issue but most agree that although some progress is being made, there are many obstacles standing in the way of meeting the primary goals of aid providers. This research highlights these obstacles and provides recommendations for how aid providers can address these problems. This research is composed of five (5) chapters, chapter one explores the background of the study, statement of the problem, purpose of the study, objectives of the study, research questions, scope of the study, significance of the study, conceptual frame work and definitions of key terms. Chapter two looks at the literature review, chapter three shows the method used in this study and chapter four will contain the findings and finally chapter five is about conclusion and recommendations.
