The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of risk management practices on performance of road construction projects in Kilifi County, Kenya. Drawing on the positivist research philosophy, the research utilized the quantitative non-experimental research methodology. The research employed the correlational cross-sectional survey design for testing noncausal relationships among variables. The target population consisted of 224 project implementation team in charge of 56 road construction projects under the Kenya Rural Roads Authority in Kilifi County, Kenya. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 144 project implementation team in charge of 36 road construction projects under the Kenya Rural Roads Authority in Kilifi County, Kenya. A self-administered structured survey questionnaire was utilized to collect primary data. A pilot study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the constructed survey questionnaire. With the help of 3 research assistants, the researcher utilized the drop and pick method to hand deliver the survey questionnaires to 144 project implementation team in charge of 36 road construction projects in Kilifi County, Kenya. The cross-sectional survey-based approach was used for the primary data collection. The collected data was coded, edited, and entered into the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 to create a data sheet that was used for statistical analysis. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The Pearson's product moment correlation results indicated that risk identification and risk analysis had positive and significant relationship with performance of road construction projects in Kilifi County, Kenya. The multiple regression results indicated that risk identification and risk analysis had positive and significant influence on performance of road construction projects in Kilifi County, Kenya. The project managers should implement the risk management practices to foster performance of road construction projects. The policymakers should initiate policy review to encourage project managers to implement the risk management practices to foster performance of road construction projects. Future researchers should examine the moderating influence of project complexity on the relationship between risk management practices and performance of construction projects in other regions or sectors.

The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of risk management practices on the performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. Specifically, the research examined the influence of risk identification practice and risk analysis practice on the performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. The theoretical framework consisted of the enterprise risk management theory, systems theory, contingency theory and complexity theory. Drawing on the positivist research philosophy, the research utilized the quantitative non-experimental research methodology. The research employed the correlational cross-sectional survey design for testing noncausal relationships among variables. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 128 project management staff from a target population of 188 project management staff in charge of the mining projects of the 7 mining companies in Kwale County, Kenya. A pilot study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the constructed survey questionnaire. A self-administered structured questionnaires was used to collect primary data. The research utilized the cross-sectional survey-based approach. Through the drop and pick method, the survey questionnaires were hand delivered to the project management staff of the mining companies. The collected data was processed and entered into the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 26 to create a data sheet used for statistical analysis. The Pearson's correlation results indicated that risk identification practice and risk analysis practice had positive and significant relationship with performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. The multiple regression results showed that risk identification practice and risk analysis practice had positive and significant influence on performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. The mining project managers should recognize the importance of risk management practices and apply them to their projects to minimize risks for successful projects in the mining industry. The policy makers should initiate policy review to motivate project managers recognize the importance of risk management practices.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of stakeholders' management on public projects success in Kenya: Methodology: This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The target population was 500 staff working for the Kenya government. The study population included public work engineers, works clerks, public project managers, contractors, supervisors and community elder respondents. The research study embraced stratified random sampling method and a sample size of 150 respondents was obtained using the Yamane (1967) formula. The study further used structured questionnaires which consisted of both open-ended and closed-ended questions to collect data from the sampled population. The collected data was cleaned for clarity clearness. Coding was done on the basis of the place of the participants. The data was analyzed using excel. Data was presented using frequency tables Finding: The findings revealed that stakeholders’ analysis has a positive influence on public project success. Majority of the respondents agreed that stakeholders and their roles have been successfully identified. The study concludes that stakeholders’ participation had a positive impact on project success. In addition, the study suggests that proper stakeholder expectation management enhances project success. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study affirmed applications of stakeholder’s theory since internal and external stakeholders power determines the success of public projects. For Practice, Public Project implementors should enhance stakeholder involvement in project decision-making. There is need for improvement in participatory planning and budgeting to enhance decision-making processes. In addition, the government should refine stakeholder management process by designing policy for stakeholder engagement. The policy, should emphasize the need to address concerns related to service timeliness, quality, and budget adherence, as well as enhancing feedback mechanisms and communication channels. Proper timeliness and quality of service delivery need to be enhanced. The government should establish mechanisms for participatory planning and budgeting, providing stakeholders with resources for active participation, addressing service timeliness and quality concerns.
