Abstract
This study intended to establish the influence of leadership dynamics on public participation in CDF projects in Kenya: a
case of Manyatta constituency in Embu County. Specific objectives of the study included determining how project
leadership managerial skills, project financial management, and project leadership level of education influence public
participation in CDF projects. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select a study sample of 384
respondents from six wards in Manyatta constituency. Primary data collection was conducted using a semi-structured
questionnaire. The findings revealed that effective managerial skills, financial management skills and good level of
education of project managers were very instrumental in ensuring public participation in CDF projects. Financial
resources were also critical in enhancing public participation in CDF projects. Similarly, proper and regular staff
training is important in the management of CDF funded projects and therefore this must be adopted as a common
practice.
