Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 06
Abstract
The fundamental objective of GETFund is to provide money to augment government budgetary allocations in the development of educational infrastructure at all stages of education, from pre-tertiary to tertiary level, as defined in the GETFund Act, 2000 Act 581. The purpose of the research is to investigate the inefficiencies in the execution of GETFund construction projects, identify variables impacting GETFund projects, and propose effective ways to increase successful GETFund project execution in the Upper West Region. The descriptive survey research method was adopted for the study. Sixty-five clients, twenty-one consultancies, and sixty-two construction firms totalling one hundred and forty-eight were sampled for the study. Questionnaires were the major approach utilised for data gathering. Descriptive statistics were employed to examine the data. Findings from the study indicated that the most important difficulties that hinder efficient implementation of GETFund building projects are political and financial in nature. Furthermore, the most significant problems confronting effective GETFund construction project execution in the region are cost considerations and schedule aspects. It is recommended that a new approach to contract award procedures be instituted by giving less weight to prices and more weight to the capacity, past performance, and adherence to performance measurement of contractors bidding for the projects, irrespective of their political, cultural, and religious persuasions.
