Grammar

Question for a title of a paper!

Hi there, I am a non-native English speaker here. Perhaps my explanation here is already having a bad grammar, but I would like to have your opinion.

Outline of the paper:
I am trying to assess the change in amount of money that an individual save to a savings group after an injection of grant into the group. So what my title should be like?

Confusion:
"Assessing (Saving/Savings?) Behavior: The Impact of External (Fund/Funds?) Injection (to/into?) Savings Groups in Village X"

I am leaning towards:
"Assessing Saving Behavior: The Impact of External Fund Injection into Savings Groups in Village X"

What is your advice and opinion? Can you help me discuss the possibilities listed in my confusion above?

Amri Priyadi I am leaning towards:"Assessing Saving Behavior: The Impact of External Fund Injection into Savings Groups in Village X" I think that is fine. 'Saving' because you are addressing the activity, not the account (which is addressed in the second 'Savings'), and 'Fund' because we normally use the singular in noun-noun construction.
