“…al., 2006). The approach is positivity geared on the notion of accepting that the youths require some assets and resources to thrive including positive supportive relationships (Enfield & Owens, 2009) The idea behind leadership is to bring efforts together in a certain organization in achieving the intended purpose through placing skills and competencies in their right occupation (Bolden, 2010). It is key to tie such skills and competencies on missions and systems in an integrated developmental manner with functions including managing, planning, jobs selection, mistake identification, rewards and even recognition with great emphasis placed on equipping leaders with necessary skills estimated at around $50 billion with companies in Europe spending about £3,336 on each head (Burgoyne, Hirsch & William, 2004).…”

“…Project monitoring refers to the continuous and periodic oversight of projects to ensure the set targets are achieved against project input deliveries (Were V. L., 2014). This makes it possible for the management to spot potential challenges and achievements of a project providing the basis for taking corrective actions, both operational and substantive to ensure that the project design is improved and implemented well by adhering to quality standards (Karanja, 2014;Emmanuel Z., 2015).…”

“…As an essential element in project performance, it has remained deserted by many Non-Governmental Organizations programmes with the management staff offering minimal support (Emmanuel Z., 2015;Lahey, 2015). Program and project managers do not take it seriously, lowly regarded during inception taking it as unnecessary expense that should be done away with hence projects may not yield the required results by underperforming (Kirsch, 2013, Nalianya & Luketero, 2017.…”

Introduction Background of the StudySustainable development is where the current generation needs are met but also taking in to account the future generations' expectations over the usage of the same resource or source of livelihood (Bossel, 1999; ILO, 2012; CEC, 2001). The brain child of such a concept was Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) and David Ricardo (1772-1823) who indicated the sense that there is finite of resources within the environment in existence (WCED, 1997). It is thus in the conservation of environment that even the concept of development and sustainability was anchored. It was in 1970 when sustainability issues and concept is traced and initiated and eventually commission on the development of the environment in the world (WCED) which is a United Nations branch.The sustainability of projects is a concern especially for agencies of internal image and even national and at the grassroots levels. Peter, Geofrey and Kirui (2015) argue that money and any other resources in huge amounts have been given to communities within and outside the expected reach with the focus of enhancing their livelihoods which can be by well-wishers or donors. In Kenya, the development aid was at $770m in 2005 to support to development projects assistance. It has been established and brought forward that success has been registered to some but also no much or little evidence established on how the impact has been felt by the poor (Ababa, 2013).

“…More research is needed to document the impact of these outcomes on individuals and society and to show how they can be improved through PYD programs. One such study, by UC ANR, is seeking evidence that investments in high-quality positive youth development programs might create higher levels of community social capital (see sidebar at lower left) Enfield and Owens 2009).…”

In the last three decades, positive youth development has emerged as the new paradigm for youth-related research and programming. The literature provides strong evidence that high-quality youth programs can have positive and significant effects. Positive youth development is strongly associated with three outcomes of particular public significance: improved school achievement and graduation rates, decreased incidence of risk behaviors and increased sense of personal efficacy and empathy. A strong economic case could be built for increasing public investment in positive youth development programs. What is needed now is more and better data, and measurable goals at the state level.

“…Plethora of research indicates an association exists between the number of assets possessed and the number of flourishing indicators within an individual (Enfield & Owens, 2009). Considering this evidence, PYD deliberates the strengths of youth and values that contribute towards healthy development by taking advantage of these individual strengths through evocative societal roles and community-based actions (González et al, 2013).…”
