Abstract:
As recent evidence revealed that the roles of international NGOs in poverty reduction issues in developing countries at rural levels are more recognized and the challenges it faces from its stakeholders also have a profound impact on the organization’s activities. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess and analyze the contributing roles played by WVE and challenges it faced in poverty reduction activity at local levels in the form of decentralized exercises of powers and resources for the community benefits. In order to examine whether WVE roles reduced the extent of severity of poverty or not and as well as how it encountered problems from its stakeholders, basic research questions were developed and sought to address these issues. For this study both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods and a descriptive survey type of research design were employed. After interventions of WVE towards fighting against severity of poverty risking a significant achievement in public sectors, special supports for the vulnerable rural community, capacity building and challenges encountered from its stakeholders in areas of such as lack of cooperation and collaborations, the problems of lack of exercising good governance effectively and efficiently found to be obstacles to achieve its full goals and these gaps need appropriate measures from its stakeholders and partners is the major outcome of the study. The study suggests that there is a need for WVE stakeholders to overcome on the challenges of their organization faced and should have discharged their responsibilities fully.
