IMPACT OF PROJECT INITIATION ON PERFORMANCE OF OUTPUT-BASED FUNDED SABASABA URBAN WATER SUPPLY PROJECT

Abstract

The project lifecycle management influence on project performance has been noted globally. In China, Chen and Hu (2021) noted the importance of the project initiation component of project lifecycle management in relation to the project performance. The project initiation was found critical for the project sustainability, project viability, and setting the stage for the project planning dynamics. In India, Kumar Ghosh and Kumar Sar (2020) noted the importance of the project initiation to the project performance elements. The stakeholders that were involved in the project initiation process and the incorporation of their feedback were critical in the project performance in terms of project sustainability. This was due to the incorporation of the diverse project management stakeholders into the project imitation process and hence project planning aspects. In Rwanda, various components of the project lifecycle management have been noted to influence project performance of water projects. Mutanguha and Kamuhanda (2021) discussing the water aid project in Rwanda noted the various ways in which the project initiation influenced the project performance. In this context, the importance of the community participation on the project initiation was noted in order to improve on the project performance in terms of project sustainability. The project initiation component of the project lifecycle was thus noted to influence the project performance by impacting on the project sustainability.
