Abstract
Local Non-governmental Organizations including Professional Alliance for
Development in Ethiopia (PADet) play vital roles in the socio-economic
development of Ethiopia by filling development gaps when the government is short.
However, local non-governmental organizations have various problems in
implementing projects based on their plans. This study assessed the Project
Implementation Practice within Professional Alliance for Development in Ethiopia
(PADet): In the Case of Youth Empowerment Projects. To carry out this
assessment, the study was guided by the following specific research objectives: To
assess the provision of training, to examine the process of communication, and to
assess how financial support determines projects’ implementation practice. The
study used a descriptive research design. The target population of this study
composed of 32 employees of Professional Alliance for Development for Ethiopia
(PADet) worked under youth empowerment projects which are Building the
Potential of Youth (POTENTIAL) and Youth in Action. The assessment identified
that majority of the respondents revealed there were finance inadequacy and poor
communication as challenges in implementing the projects. Based on the
assessment findings the study recommends PADet that, it is essential for the
organization to break out of traditional funding models that are no longer
sufficient, and also it will be important that PADet works more on developing the
communication skills of the staff.
