A THESIS PROPOSAL
April 2013 ABSTRACT This study seeks to address the factors affecting project implementation in an organization with a focus on a non-governmental organisation. The process of project implementation, involving the successful development and introduction of projects in the organization, presents an ongoing challenge for managers. The study notes that there are many nongovernmental organizations that run similar programmes and this makes it difficult to realize the full intensions of a given project. The objectives of the study are; to establish the effect of resources management, determine how operational systems affect project implementation, to find out if organizational culture affects project implementation within a non-governmental organization and to determine whether the organisation leadership affects project implementation. The study for sees and expect suspicion by respondents, funding might as well be a limitation to this study. It is noted that leading implementation of projects requires, establishing direction, aligning people, and motivating and inspiring. Other elements like operations system do not come out clearly on the observed literature as well as the organisation culture from both within and out of the organisation hence it is of essence to carry out a study on factors affecting project implementation amongst nongovernmental organizations in Kenya. The study will adopt a descriptive design to obtain pertinent and precise information concerning the current status of a phenomenon and draw valid general conclusions from the facts discovered. The study target population will be drawn from the personnel’s at the Kenya Nairobi office which entails 160 personnel’s (techno serves HR 2012). A representative sample of at least 50% of the target population will be
