ABSTRACT
This study investigates the impact of risk management on the institutional development and growth of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in four East African countries between 2015 and 2021. The Background of the Study traces the evolution of civil society, emphasizing NGOs' transformation from informal entities to pivotal actors in development and humanitarian efforts, driven by historical milestones like the UN establishment and normative frameworks such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The sector’s expansion, particularly in East Africa, has been shaped by regional integration, donor influence, and the need to professionalize operations amid political, social, and economic complexities. However, many NGOs face vulnerabilities due to inadequate risk management in the face of external shocks like political instability and environmental disasters, hampering their resilience and long-term sustainability. Existing literature largely offers global perspectives, underscoring the need for context-specific research. The Objective is to assess how risk management influences organizational resilience and growth, with the Research Hypothesis proposing a significant positive impact. The Theoretical Frameworks draw on Growth-Based Theory, emphasizing internal resources and strategic flexibility, and Foundations of Development and Risk, highlighting systemic vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities. Empirical evidence was collected through a mixed-methods approach rooted in Creswell and Creswell’s (2018) and Kumar’s (2019) principles. The quantitative component involved a structured survey distributed to approximately 476 NGO personnel such as managers and financial officers from 28 organizations selected via stratified random sampling based on country, size, and sector. The qualitative aspect comprised semi-structured interviews with key informants, complemented by document analysis of organizational reports and strategic plans. Data collection adhered to rigorou

ABSTRACT
This study examined the complex issues surrounding civilian disarmament in South Sudan, with a focus on reducing small arms proliferation and promoting sustainable peace and development. The study's methodology was grounded in several theoretical frameworks, including the Security Dilemma Theory and Social Identity Theory. The Security Dilemma Theory posited that the accumulation of military capabilities, including small arms, by one group could create a sense of insecurity among other groups, leading to an arms race and increased tensions. The Social Identity Theory posited that individuals derived a sense of identity and belonging from their membership in social groups, which could lead to in-group favouritism and out-group bias. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative phases to gather data from 350 community members and conduct in-depth case studies of three communities. The study found that despite large-scale disarmament efforts, success rates remained low, with an estimated 1.9 million small arms in circulation, contributing to increased violence and insecurity, particularly in rural areas. The research highlighted the critical role of traditional leaders and community structures in promoting peace and development in South Sudan. Community-led disarmament initiatives, supported by the international community, were effective in reducing small arms proliferation and promoting security. However, the study noted that disarmament efforts had to be tailored to address the specific security concerns and needs of different ethnic groups, and that traditional leaders and community structures had to be involved in the disarmament process. The intersection of security and ethnicity was a critical factor in understanding the dynamics of small arms proliferation in South Sudan. The study found that ethnicity played a significant role in shaping security perceptions and behaviours, with different ethnic groups having different
