dc.description.abstractGiven the increasing donor funding to most of the SMEs in Tanzania: there has been an increase desire overtime to know whether or not there is any relationship between this donor funding and business performance. The main purpose of this research therefore was to identify the relationship between donor funding and business performance. This study was guided by three research objectives. The general Objective was to determine if there is any relationship between donor funding and business performance. Specific research objectives were; to identify the relationship between donor funding and business performance in Tanzania. Other objectives are to identify other factors rather than donor funding that may contribute to business performance in Tanzania and lastly is to identify challenges facing business performance in Tanzania. Data collection methods comprised both primary and secondary sources. Questionnaires were distributed to SMEs that received funds and those who did not receive such funding. Both open and closed ended questions were used to collect demographic and data related to donor funding and business performance to SME’s. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were employed for collecting and analyzing data. The research findings indicated that donor funding has both positive and negative contribution to business performance. The negative effect of donor funding to business performance is due to various reasons such as inability to utilize funds received, seasonal variation, weak economic climate or business competition and lack of business experience. The study also found that; the other factors that contribute to business performance apart from business donor funding includes availability of ready markets, availability of raw materials, establishment of microfinance institutions, training on Business and Entrepreneurship, skills and experience in current Business.
