Abstract
Devolution Act and Implementation
Guidelines stress the need of assessing the
progress of health facilities built with county
funds. In Counties, the many parties
accountable for project delivery are also
tasked with monitoring its progress. In order
to produce an accurate assessment of a
project, individuals tasked with monitoring
and assessing it must ask the correct
questions, conduct thorough investigations of
the actual problems, and gather all necessary
data. Managers of public works projects are
always pleased when their efforts succeed.
This means completing the project on
schedule and without going over budget, as
well as satisfying the entire project's other
stakeholders. Despite best efforts, numerous
Kilifi County health building projects
financed by the county have ran over budget,
behind schedule, failed to meet end-product
standards, failed to meet customer wants and
expectations, and failed to achieve
management objectives. For effective
tracking and measurement of results, as well
as illumination of the triggers to difficulties
inherent in handling county-funded health
construction projects, effective evaluation
and monitoring techniques are essential. This
project aimed to examine the correlation
between evaluation methods with
effectiveness of health infrastructure
initiatives financed by the public in Kilifi
County. The research focused on how
elements such as stakeholder participation,
budget distribution, project management
skills, and assessment techniques impact the
effectiveness of healthcare initiatives
sponsored by the county in Kilifi County.
The investigation was grounded in theories
such as stakeholder, resource-based
perspective, equity, and program. A crosssectional research approach was employed,
concentrating on 29 county-funded health
initiatives in Kilifi County. The subset of
initiatives from which data was gathered was
chosen using a straightforward random
sampling strategy. Information was gathered
through a semi-structured questionnaire. The
gathered quantitative information was
processed and examined using SPSS version
21. Data analysis utilized both quantitative
and qualitative strategies. Descriptive and
inferential statistics were adopted for data
interpretation.
