Determinants Of Implementation Of Constituency Development Fund Projects In Njoro Sub-County, Nakuru County, Kenya.

ABSTRACT

The involvement of the central government in the development of socioeconomic development at the constituency level is important in facilitating nationwide sustainable development, despite geopolitical differences. Since introduction, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), now NG-CDF, in 2003 has facilitated socioeconomic development across the nation and especially in areas that were previously marginalized, by allocating part of the national resources to constituencies for development purposes. The allocated funds are then allocated to development initiatives depending on the community needs. However, numerous issues have risen in the management and implementation of the NG-CDF projects, raising a question on the underlying determinants on the implementation of such projects. This study sought to examine the determinants of the implementation of NG-CDF projects in Njoro Sub-county, Kenya. Njoro Sub-county is in Nakuru County, and covers six wards namely; Njoro, Lare, Nesuit, Kihingo, Mauche, and Mau Narok. The study evaluated the roles of training, stakeholder involvement and the availability of funds on the implementation of NG-CDF projects, with the government law and policy as a moderating variable. The study used a descriptive design as it intended to describe the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. The target population for the study was project coordinators, committee members and community representatives. Stratified sampling and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the research instrument was evaluated in the pilot test as well as through the expert help from the supervisor. Descriptive and inferential statistics were undertaken using SPSS V.22 and the results will then be used to derive conclusions and make inferences in relation to the research objectives and questions. The correlation analysis showed there existed a positive relationship between the dependent and the independent variables as there was a positive correlation. A regression analysis model was fitted to explain the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. The study recommended the emphasis of proper training, complete stakeholder involvement throughout the project stages, allocation of sufficient funds to finance the NG-CDF projects and the emphasis of the established government regulations to enhance the effectiveness of the implementation process.
