Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Project management is a strategic competency that enables entities to link project success to business goals. Global Fund is a public-private partnership and international financing institution dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV and AIDS, TB and malaria. Every project is always constrained with resources that determine project management process and success. SSF/ HIV project is an example of a project in which project management process determines the success. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of project management processes on the success of SSF/ HIV project. The study was guided by four research objectives namely: to determine the influence of project initiation and planning process on project success; to examine the influence of project execution process on project success; to investigate the influence of monitoring and controlling of projects on project success. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The target population of the study was 110 respondents. Random sampling technique was employed for the study to select the respondents. Questionnaires with close-ended questions were used to collect data. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS. The study findings revealed that project planning process, project execution process and project monitoring positively and significantly correlated to project success (r=0.279, 0.762, 0.236). The P values for all the variables was less than 0.05 (p<0.05) indicating the relationship between the study variables is significant. The study suggests the introduction of effective monitoring tools; training of staff on use of monitoring tools; use of effective communication and improved reporting and documentation in order to improve the monitoring and control process.
