dc.description.abstractThe Managed Equipment Services (MES) health project adopted in 2015 by the Kenyan government has not conclusively solved the challenge of health equipment financing and availing specialized medical care to all citizens in the forty-seven counties. It has faced a myriad of challenges with stakeholders raising many concerns such as non-delivery or late delivery of equipment, cost overruns and idle equipment. Approximately 50 percent of public projects in Kenya perform dismally due to several reasons including inadequate stakeholder participation. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of stakeholder involvement in project planning on managed equipment services health project performance at selected level 5 public hospitals in Kenya. Descriptive survey design was applied. The study was conducted in five selected level V hospital MES projects. A census of all the selected five projects was done with a target population of 90 respondents, encompassing 15 county executive members, 20 hospital administrators and 55 departmental staff heads. Data collection was done using structured questionnaires that were given to participants. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used with assistance of the SPSS software tool. Descriptive techniques that include standard deviation and mean were used. Pearson Correlation and multiple linear regression were used for inferential techniques. The study found that stakeholder participation in planning of the MES project positively and significantly affected project performance. The study concluded that stakeholder involvement is important in project performance and it should be properly done in project planning, financing, implementation and M & E. The study suggested that stakeholder analysis and participation ought to be done in complex projects undertaken by many stakeholders.en_US
