This motivated the study to assess the22 influence22 of22 project risk management22 on22 the sustainability of donor funded projects22 in22 Nairobi22 County,22 Kenya. Specifically, 05the 05study 05sought to assess 05the 05influence 05of 05project risk identification on the sustainability of 05donor 05funded05projects 05in05Nairobi 05County, determine 05the 05influence 05of project risk assessment on the sustainability of 05donor 05funded 05projects 05in 05Nairobi 05County, examine the 05influence 05of 05project risks mitigation on the sustainability of 05donor 05funded 05projects 05in 05Nairobi 05County, 05and 05to find22 out22 the22 influence22 of22 project risks monitoring on the sustainability05of 05donor 05funded05projects 05in05Nairobi 05County, 05Kenya. 05The 05study 05was anchored on theory of constraints, the prospect theory, the 05enterprise 05risk 05management 05theory, 05and the contingency theory.
