ABSTRACT This research aimed at examination of the effect of budgetary control on effectiveness of Non Governmental Organizations putting much emphasis on Action Aid Uganda, Kampala district. The study was based on three specific objectives that is; to establish the effect of planning and monitoring on effectiveness of Action Aid Uganda, determine the effect of monitoring and control on effectiveness of Action Aid Uganda and as well determine the effect of analyzing and feedback on effectiveness of Action Aid Uganda. Various authentications were reviewed to compare study findings and what other researchers had in relation to the three specific objectives of the study. The study used a descriptive survey study research design which examined the budgetary control of Action Aid Uganda and also was applied to describe a population with respect to important variables with the major emphasis being establishing the relationship between the variables. The population of the study consisted of the current staff of Action Aid since it is a special reference organization operating in Uganda which and that it was obtained from the NGOs coordination Board. A sample size of 144 was used to collect data through use of Slovenes formula and the questionnaire instrument; however after data collection only 60 questionnaires were retrieved. Data was therefore collected basing on both primary and secondary sources. In regard to ethics governing an educational research, an authority letter was collected from the Head of Department for Business Administration and in return, Action Aid Uganda guaranteed the researcher to collect data with proof of an Acceptance Letter. The majority of the respondents agreed that if issues concerning planning and monitoring are not satisfying then budgetary control may be negatively affected and it was also found that effective monitoring and control can be analyzed through budgetary control after boosting investors to finance the organization. Hence the study recommended Action Aid to have regular workshops and seminars to expose their staff to various activities done form different organizations for the betterment of organizational performance.
