They complement government’s efforts in providing sustainable development especially in the socio-economic sector. Despite this important role NGOs play in the development process they are faced with a number of barriers in remaining sustainable. This study seeks to explore the determinants of sustainability of NGOs in Cameroon. The main objective of the study was to develop a sustainable model that NGOs could use to overcome these barriers. It also seeks to examine how factors like income diversification, Organisational Management and impact investment can determine the sustainability of an NGO. The study targeted NGOs that were at the time of this study mostly actively engaged in youth and women empowerment in Cameroon; Thus NGO managers, Chief executive officers, board members and Founders were the main respondents. Simple random sampling technique was used to identify NGOs to participate in the study. A sample size of 125 respondents was used. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted randomly in five Likert scales. Data were collected, processed and analysed to obtain results using regression and correlation analysis. The Cronbach’s Alpha test and also factor analysis test were used to access the reliability of the questionnaires. Furthermore, a normality test was utilized to evaluate the shape of the distribution of tables. Findings of the study indicated that the majority organizations in the sector of the study receive funding from external donors making up most of the funding for NGOs which encourages several challenges that poses a threat to their sustainability. Interestingly, the results reveal that the determinants; Income diversification, organizational management and impact investment has a huge positive role on the sustainability of NGOs in Cameroon. This result therefore, further upholds the main purpose and objectives of NGOs in providing sustainable socio-economic and environmental impact in communities. Recommendations were suggested to guide NGOs to embraced Impact Investment as a useful determinant to their Sustainability.
