Abstract
The National Government-Constituency Development Fund (NGCDF) in Kenya has assisted in developing otherwise forgotten areas of our society through building of schools, health centers, water projects, agriculture, bursaries and roads. Though many have lived up to their mandates, questions still arise of how efficiently the NGCDF projects have been done in serving their intended purposes to the society. This study therefore was meant to examine the determinants of implementing NG-CDF projects so that they become efficient. The study was done in Malindi constituency in Kilifi County, Kenya. The study was guided by Theory of Project Implementation, and Belassi and Tukel Theory of Success. Objectives of this study were: to establish the extent to which timeliness of the NGCDF projects determine their implementation in Kilifi County, to assess the extent to which competency of technical labour used determines the implementation of NGCDF projects in Kilifi County, to examine how specifications with Bills of Quantities determines the implementation of NGCDF projects in Kilifi County and to investigate how quality of materials used determines the implementation of NGCDF projects in Kilifi County.
