Abstract
The absence of appropriate public engagement, resource mobilization, project duration, and
legal framework were commonly cited as the reasons for this disparity. There is a lot of outside
influence on project selection and execution in Embakasi South constituency when it comes to
national government constituency-funded projects. This is mainly because the public isn't
involved enough in examining possible illicit activity. The purpose of this study was to examine
the variables that affect how well national government constituency-funded initiatives are carried
out in Nairobi, Kenya. The particular goals are to ascertain the effect of resource mobilization on
the execution of these projects in the Embakasi South Constituency. The theoretical framework
for this study was anchored in project implementation theory, Stakeholder Theory, and resourcebased theory. This study utilized a descriptive research design. The focus of observation was on
10 national government officials, comprising the Director of Education, Sub County Social
Development Officer, Registrar of Persons, Youth Officer, Sub County Police Commander,
Deputy County Commissioner, Assistant County Commissioner, Chief of Kwa Kwa Njenga, Chief
of Imara Location, and Sub County Accountant. Additionally, the study involved 95 committee
members, 59 beneficiary stakeholders, and the manager of NGCDF in Embakasi South
Constituency. The study employed a stratified random sampling method to ensure each
participant has an equal opportunity for inclusion. The study involved two types of data: primary
data and secondary data, encompassing both qualitative and quantitative information. SPSS
software was used for data collection, analysis, and coding. Tables were used to exhibit the
analysed results, and a theme expression was used to describe the interview schedule. The
findings indicated that there is positive significant association between influences of resource
mobilization on implementation as shown by a correlation coefficient of 0.251 and a p-value of
0.047.. The researcher concluded that while there is a perception among respondents that the
mere availability of resources might not impact project implementation, specific challenges
related to the acquisition of physical resources are acknowledged. The study recommends that
various institutions involved in decision making on CDF should develop and implement
comprehensive strategies to enhance community engagement throughout all phases of project
development, including identification, design, implementation, and project closure. The study
recommends there is need for future researchers to determine effectiveness of monitoring and
evaluation of both government and private sector projects in Kenya.
