Background of the Study
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a vital role in the development and provision of essential services in Wamakko Local Government Area (LGA), particularly in sectors such as education, healthcare, and rural development. Effective cost management is crucial for NGOs to ensure that their resources are used efficiently and that their programs achieve the intended impact. However, NGOs in Wamakko LGA face numerous challenges related to cost management, primarily due to resource constraints, limited access to financial tools, and a lack of expertise in cost accounting techniques (Kirkendall, 2014).
Cost management in NGOs involves monitoring, controlling, and optimizing the allocation of financial resources to different projects and activities. This process includes practices such as budgeting, cost estimation, and financial reporting. In Wamakko LGA, NGOs may struggle with these tasks, especially in the face of unpredictable funding streams and a diverse array of service programs. This study aims to explore the cost management challenges faced by NGOs in Wamakko LGA and how these challenges impact their operations.
