Abstract
This study was conducted to assess project implementation factors influence on the success of community based projects in Rwanda using the work of Pinto and Slevin (1987) as a basis for the research. In their work, they advanced ten project implementation factors that were said to be critical to the success of projects; they gave an outline of the ten factors, defined them and stated their importance to project success, but did not investigate on the influence they would have to the success of projects. The research was therefore conducted to assess the influence of three factors from the ten advanced by Pinto and Slevin which were; personnel used by CCM project, monitoring and feedback, and beneficiary acceptance/consultation to the success of the Church and Community Mobilization Project in Bugesera district, given that the project report indicated that one of the three goals (100% of targeted families to have access to income, investments and savings by 2016) set to be achieved by the project was not a success (CCM Project Report, 2016). The study objectives were also derived from the three factors. The independent variable for the study was project implementation factors and the dependent variable project success. A descriptive case study design was used for the study, which facilitated collection and analyzing of data both quantitatively and qualitatively. A Census study was done for the whole population of 31 church leaders who were in charge of daily monitoring and giving a report about the impact of the project to beneficiaries. Three key informants also provided information to the research. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the church leaders and an interview guide administered to the key informants. The variables were subjected to correlation analysis and the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data. The study found out that there was a positive relationship between project implementation and personnel of the project, monitoring and feedback, and beneficiary acceptance/consultation (0.894, 0.493 and 0.661) respectively. All the factors had a significant p-value (p<0.05) at 95% confidence level. The significance values for relationship between project implementation factors of CCM and project success were 0.018, 0.031 and 0.024 respectively. This indicates that there is a correlation between project implementation factors influence on the success of church and community mobilization project in Bugesera district. This implies that personnel of the project were the most significant factor in influencing the project success. The study concluded that there was a relationship between project implementation factors and success of the project and therefore the factors influenced project success. like agriculture to enrich the study in Rwanda.
