Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Humanitarian organizations in Nairobi City County play a crucial role
in the social and economic advancement of poor and low-income residents. However, the impact
of stakeholder management on the success of these organizations' programs needs to be better
understood.
Purpose of the Study: This research aimed to determine how stakeholder management influenced
the success of humanitarian organizations' programs in Nairobi City County.
Research Methodology: The study employed a holistic approach with a descriptive research
design, targeting 201 humanitarian NGOs in Nairobi. Using stratified and purposive sampling, 354
respondents were selected. Data was collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed
using SPSS, applying multiple linear regression models and both descriptive and inferential
statistics.
Findings: The study revealed strong positive correlations between project performance and
stakeholder interests (r = 0.848), project communication (r = 0.879), stakeholders' participation (r
= 0.729), and conflict management (r = 0.819). These factors collectively accounted for 88.4% of
the variance in project performance, with all variables showing significant positive impacts.
Conclusion: The research concluded that stakeholder interests, effective communication,
stakeholder participation, and conflict management have strong positive correlations with project
performance in humanitarian organizations in Nairobi City County.
