Abstract
The constituency development fund is a national government fund introduced in Kenya in 2003 by
an Act of Parliament, to eradicate poverty at the grassroots level, bring about an equitable share of resources
and create employment opportunities at the constituencies. This fund was renamed in 2015 as the NG-CDF
(National Government Constituency Development Fund) to bring about the separation of powers and functions
between county and national governments. NG-CDF Act Section 4 sub-section (2a) of 2015 requires that at
least two (2.5%) per cent of the yearly ordinary state revenue be directed and shared equally among all
constituencies to drive the development agenda. The study’s main objective was to determine the factors
influencing project management practices on the performance of NG-CDF funded projects. The study utilised
the Descriptive Survey Research Design. The population included 120 NG-CDF construction projects
implemented between 2015/2016 and 2019/2020 financial years. The study sample comprised of 92
respondents. The study found out that NG-CDF projects are successful if they are managed by qualified project
managers with a mean score of 4.01 and sd=1.131. Leadership skills was the second important factor for project
managers with mean score of 4.08 and sd=0.938. Thirdly, the study established that the experience and
knowledge of project managers influenced success of project with mean score of 3.99 and sd=0.934. The study
also found that project management is influenced by level of training with mean score of 3.90 and sd=1.098
