Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of project governance on the performance of Community based HIV projects in Kiambu, Kenya. Methodology: The study used descriptive survey research method and adopted stratified random sampling to identify a sample size of 151 respondents out of the target population of 249 NPOs implementing HIV projects in the 12 Sub-counties in Kiambu. A structured questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions collected primary data. A pilot study was used to test the validity and reliability of the research instrument using Cronbach's alpha. The collected data was edited, cleaned and analyzed using descriptive statistics with the aid of SPSS version 21.0. Correlation and regression were used to determine the relationship between critical success factors and project performance of Community based HIV projects. Data was presented in tables, charts and figures. Results: The study concluded that project governance has a positive significant relationship with project performance. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The management should consider hiring a project manager who has the requisite professional background and competence, with high levels of specialized knowledge and expertise. CSF implementation in HIV projects should be supported by a government policy guideline alongside the effective and efficient management of projects in Kenya for sustained results. Keywords: Project governance, performance, Community based HIV projects.
