Abstract

The study is about the Role of project management strategies in church funded project performance: a case of Cardinal Rugambwa Hospital. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected using questionnaires distributed to a sample of 270 participants, Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to assess the relationships between study variables. The findings reveal that community engagement plays a crucial role in enhancing project outcomes, particularly through decision-making and participation in project activities. A reliable source of funding, Institutional capacity, encompassing the skills and resources required for project management, significantly impacts efficiency and effectiveness in project implementation. Furthermore, effective project planning, characterized by detailed objectives, timelines, and contingency measures, was found to be vital for achieving project performance goal. The regression model showed that all the four management strategies ie project planning, community engagement, institutional capacity and reliable source of funding significantly contribute to project performance. Based on the findings, the study recommends fostering stronger community participation, ensuring consistent funding mechanisms, investing in capacity building for institutional staff, and adopting comprehensive project planning frameworks. The study also identifies four areas for further research: the role of technological integration in church-funded projects, comparative analyses of funding mechanisms across regions, longitudinal studies on project sustainability, and the impact of cultural factors on project performance. Keywords: Project Management, Strategies, Church Funded Project, Performance.
