Contextualized examination of stakeholder commitment to projects

This study examines the level of stakeholder commitment in selected health projects in Uganda. The stakeholders captioned were the community representatives and the end users (beneficiaries) who were either taking part or had ever taken part in the selected projects. This study adopted a cross sectional quantitative research design. It used descriptive statistics Data was collected from 123 respondents. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages and means. The results indicated that the beneficiaries had some sense of belonging for the projects (Mean = 3.00) however, the stakeholders felt that due to varied reasons, they would not be willing to exert more effort to guarantee successful execution of the project activities (Mean = 2.92). This therefore implies that if stakeholders have limited commitment to the project and yet they are usually the intended end users of the project deliverables, the sustainability of such an intervention remains just a ‘window- dressing ritual’.
