Abstract
The involvement of the central government in the development of socioeconomic development at
the constituency level is important in facilitating nationwide sustainable development, despite
geopolitical differences. Since introduction, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), now NGCDF, in 2003 has facilitated socioeconomic development across the nation and especially in areas
that were previously marginalized, by allocating part of the national resources to constituencies for
development purposes. The allocated funds are then allocated to development initiatives depending
on the community needs. However, numerous issues have risen on how stakeholders are involved
on implementation of the NG-CDF projects. This study sought to examine the effects of stakeholder
involvement on the implementation of NG-CDF projects in Njoro Sub-county, Kenya. Njoro Subcounty is in Nakuru County, and covers six wards namely; Njoro, Lare, Nesuit, Kihingo, Mauche,
and Mau Narok. The study evaluated the role of stakeholder involvement on the implementation of
NG-CDF projects. The study used a descriptive design as it intended to describe the relationship
between the independent and the dependent variable. The target population for the study was project
coordinators, committee members and community representatives. Stratified sampling and data
were collected using a structured questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the research
instrument was evaluated in the pilot test as well as through the expert help from the supervisor.
Descriptive and inferential statistics were undertaken using SPSS V.22 and the results will then be
used to derive conclusions and make inferences.. A regression analysis model was fitted to explain
the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. The study recommended the
emphasis of proper stakeholder involvement throughout the project stages, allocation of sufficient
funds to finance the NG-CDF projects and the emphasis of the established government regulations
to enhance the effectiveness of the implementation process.
