    (University of Namibia, 2023) Lishoni, Bestinah Wanga
    The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of reduced funding on sustainability of the projects carried out by NGOs in Namibia. The sub objectives of the study was to analyse the impact of reduced level of financing by donors on the project sustainability of NANASO in Namibia, to analyse the impact of stakeholder participation on the project sustainability of NANASO in Namibia and finally to determine ways in which NANASO can become financially sustainable in the event of donor reduced funding. This study is significant to NANASO, other NGOs, the government, public and private sector, as well as researchers as it intends to identify the outcomes of reduced donor funding on NGO project sustainability. Sustainability of NANASO and other NGOs is crucial as their objectives and activities contributes to the reduction of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the community. The findings of this study will also serve as a basis for future research in the same line of study. The research design for this study was descriptive research design and was deemed suitable as it reported the situation as it is without changing any variables of the impact of reduced funding and sustainability of NGOs. The approach used to collect data for this study was a quantitative one. Probability sampling in the form of multi stage sampling was used to select the sample for the study from the population. Data was collected using questionnaires having both open and closed ended questions. Quantitative data was analysed through inferential statistics using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that reduced donor funding has a negative impact on project sustainability as it impacts on the adequacy of resources needed for the project and on the attainment of objectives as there will be limited financial resources. It was recommended that to ensure project sustainability after reduced funding, ii NANASO should consider collaboration with other NGOs and also working closely with various stakeholders from both the public and private sectors
