Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Interventions on Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome (HIV and AIDS) face major challenges of resource constraints, relevance, efficiency and because of inadequate environmental scanning during strategic planning processes at global, regional, national, and county levels. The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of environmental scanning on performance of HIV and AIDS interventions managed by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Nyanza Region and the moderating influence of stakeholder participation in such relationship. The study adopted ex-post facto survey design in a mixed method approach. The sampling frame comprised 54 departmental heads as well as 6 managers/directors from three NGO National coordinating bodies. Purposive sampling techniques was used to pick the respondents. Self-administered questionnaires and Key informant interview guides were used to collect data. It was established that there was a significant weak positive relationship between environmental scanning and the performance of HIV and AIDS interventions, r (50)=0.117,p= 0.418,CL=95%. Stakeholder participation significantly moderated the relationship between environmental scanning and performance of HIV and AIDS interventions, r (50)=0.024,p=0.033,CL=95%. It is inferred that most organization conducted environmental scanning but did not realize optimal outcomes. Environmental scanning and stakeholder participation added value to HIV and AIDS interventions, though to a small extent. It is recommended that NGOs managing HIV and AIDS interventions should re-examine their environmental scanning processes for effectiveness. The NGOs also need strengthen stakeholder participation in the environmental scanning processes.
