Abstract: PurposeThis study examines the contribution of stakeholder influence and local revenue mobilisation to service delivery in district local governments in Northern Uganda.Design/methodology/approachThis was a cross-sectional and correlational study. Data were collected from the district Local Governments in Northern Uganda using a questionnaire. The unit of analysis was a district. The district’s Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Clerk-to-Council, and Community Development Officer were units of enquiry in this study. The data were analysed using correlation coefficients and linear regression using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results suggest that stakeholder influence and local revenue mobilisation predict service delivery. The results further indicate that local revenue mobilisation contributes more to service delivery than stakeholder influence.Originality/valueThis study provides empirical evidence on the contribution of stakeholder influence and revenue mobilisation to service delivery using evidence from districts in Northern Uganda adding to the scanty literature in developing countries.
