Data were collected by administering questionnaires survey a sample population of 196 potato farmers. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. Results: Largely for all the paradigms of project resourcing (land, cost sharing, organic fertilizer and labour) donor funded potato projects have got challenges of sustainability Conclusion: Project resourcing affects the sustainability of donor-funded potato projects in Kabale District Recommendations: For effective sustainability of donor-funded potato projects, donors should allow potato project beneficiaries to participate in the project resourcing through the provision of land, inorganic manure, as well as cost-sharing so they know that, they have a stake in the project they are implementing
