Abstract
Contextual factors may generate positive organizational-related results when aligned with
internal organizational factors. This is an assertion that requires empirical justification in the
Kenyan context through determining the effect of operating environment on sustainability of
Youth Empowerment Projects. Hence this study examined the effect of the project operating
environment on the sustainability of Youth Empowerment Projects in Makueni County, Kenya
from a survey of 196 respondents. Descriptive and inferential analysis were carried out on
data collected from 132 respondents, and the results of the analysis presented. The results
showed that the effect of project operating environment on project sustainability was
significantly. Therefore, according to the results of the analysis operating environment is an
explanatory construct of project sustainability. The implication of the findings of this study is
that the fit between contextual factors will contribute to sustainability of projects across
Kenya.
