Abstract:

This study explored the extent to which income generating empowerment initiatives influences sustainability of projects. Income generating initiatives are aimed at creating wealth and improving livelihoods. Such initiatives can be found in all sectors of the economy. This study took place in Voi sub-county, Kenya. It targeted eight projects implemented between 2006 and 2015. Quantitative data was collected from 4,138 household heads, while qualitative data was collected from 14 staff from two NGOs and four (4) Staff from Kenya Forest Service (KFS). Decision to collect quantitative data from 365 respondents resulted from use of Yamane formula. Six respondents purposively selected provided qualitative data. Other sampling techniques used were systematic and cluster sampling. The F-ratio obtained was F (1,351) = 161.955; p < 0.05. Null hypothesis was rejected.
