Findings of the study was presented using frequency distribution tables. For the first and second research objectives, this research used descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviations), regression analysis was used for the third research objectives, while Pearson correlation was used for the fourth research objective to establish relationship between variables under study. The study findings indicated that accountability (r=0.347, p<0.01), effective communication (r=0.466, p<0.01), partnership for planning (r=0.506, p<0.01) and supportive supervision (r=0.612, p<0.01) significantly correlate to the sustainability of projects in Rwanda.
