The effects of project management information systems on decision-making in managing projects of NGOs in Eastern Province

Abstract

The study explores NGOs' challenges in project management and investigates how the research evaluates PMIS integration, data accessibility, communication channels, and reporting mechanisms. Additionally, it assesses PMIS's role in enhancing collaboration among stakeholders. The findings contribute valuable insights to academia and practical NGO applications, informing project management practices and technology-driven decision support. Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) are crucial in improving project management effectiveness. However, there remains a significant knowledge gap regarding how PMIS directly influence decision making within non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly in the unique context of the Eastern Province. Despite earlier research emphasizing PMIS's importance in project management, little attention has been given to its impact on NGO decision-making. Given the opportunities and challenges in the Eastern Province, a thorough investigation into PMIS's effect on decision-making is essential for maximizing community-driven project impact and optimizing management techniques. This study aims to bridge the knowledge gap regarding how Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) impact decision-making in NGOs within the Eastern Province. The study proposes practical recommendations to enhance decision-making processes for NGOs, policymakers, and researchers. These strategies leverage PMIS strengths and weaknesses to maximize positive impact, allocate resources effectively, and improve overall sector performance. Policymakers and researchers are encouraged to adopt these evidence-based insights, fostering a more efficient and impactful future for all stakeholders involved
