Abstract:Critical infrastructure is of great importance for the functioning of a society at large. Despite the amount of resources employed to it, projects are never brought to completion on schedule. Regrettably this has a negative effect because delayed completion of projects causes time overrun, high costs, conflicts, litigations and abandonment of key projects. There is need to ensure that these projects are successfully implemented and completed, and the factors that have the greatest influence identified to ensure they are taken into consideration in project execution. It was therefore the aim of this study to investigate the determinants of the completion of water projects in Mombasa County. The study objectives were to assess whether stakeholder Participation, Policy Frameworks, monitoring and evaluation and availability of resources have an influence in the completion of water projects in Mombasa County. The study employed descriptive survey research method to obtain the data. In collecting data from the respondents, a self-administered questionnaire was given and analysis done using descriptive and inferential statistics. The finding from the research indicated that there is a strong and significant association between the four independent variables and the dependent variable as from analysis of the chi- square tests. Stakeholder Participation has an influence in the successful completion of water projects in Mombasa County (calculated p value of 9.49 was less than 15.38(p < 15.38), 4 degrees of freedom and 5% confidence level; Availability of resources has an influence in the completion of water projects in Mombasa County (calculated p value of 9.49 was less than  35.91 (p < 35.91) ,at 4 degrees of freedom and 5% confidence level; Monitoring and evaluation has an influence in the completion of water projects in Mombasa County  (calculated p value of 9.49 was less than 35.62 (p < 35.62),  at 4 degrees of freedom and 5% confidence level, Policy Frameworks influences the successful completion of water projects in Mombasa County, calculated p value of 9.49 was less than 23.31 (p < 23.31) ,at 4 degrees of freedom and 5% level. From the findings, the researcher concluded that, the successful completion of water projects is dependent on a number of factors which include Stakeholder Participation which influence completion of water project (mean of 3.26), availability of resources influences completion of water project (mean of 3.53), Monitoring and evaluation influences completion of water project (mean of 3.6) and Policy Frameworks which influences completion of water project (mean 3.42). The researcher recommends that project implementers must take into considerations that all the government policies are in place and comply with all of them to ensure that the project activities are carried out in line with regulations and select the best option for each community, adequate funding for water project should be maintained and financial management skill should be given to all stakeholders handling county finances that are meant for water development and expand already existing communication platforms to care and reach each stakeholder.

Abstract:There are many infrastructural projects that have been flagged  in Kenyan . most of the infrastructure  projects are stalled hence necessistating a study in this sector. The purpose  for this study was to discover determinants of successful implementation of infrastructural projects in Mombasa, Kenya. The investigation was guided by four objectives which are, to look at the political risk impact on execution of foundation ventures; to decide the degree to which training impact usage of framework ventures; to decide how stakeholder impact execution of foundation ventures and to set up how venture monitoring and evaluation  impacts execution of foundation ventures. The target population included employee from the department of transport and infrastructure  in mombasa county  and the consists 300 employes.Examination test measure was 169 respondents who were overviewed by utilization of surveys. Straightforward arbitrary examining was utilized to choose the respondents.  Regression analysis between political risk and success of infrastructural project implementation at 95% confidence was positive. There were 1.2% variations in success of infrastructural project implementation because of progress in political risk. The connection coefficient (R) showed the quality of connection between the variable. The investigation discovered that the correlation  coefficient was 0.111 which clarifies along these lines there was certain connection between accomplishment of infrastructural venture execution and political risk. ANOVA demonstrated a noteworthy estimation of 0.642 which is more than 0.005 consequently a positive connection between political risk and achievement of infrastructural venture execution. The discoveries demonstrated that when political risk is held to a steady zero then accomplishment of infrastructural venture execution would be 1.124. R2 was 0.673 which implied that there was 67.3% variety in achievement of infrastructural venture usage because of training. The correlation  coefficient (R) demonstrated the quality of connection between the variable. The examination discovered that the connection coefficient was 0.111 which clarifies along these lines there was a connection between achievement of infrastructural venture usage and training. ANOVA demonstrated a noteworthy estimation of 0.000. This demonstrated a positive  connection among training and accomplishment of infrastructural venture execution. The discoveries demonstrated that when training is held to a steady zero then accomplishment of infrastructural venture usage would be 0.799. Other than a unit increment in training would prompt an expansion in achievement of infrastructural venture execution by a factor of 0.385. R2 was 0.703 which implied that there was 70.3% variety in accomplishment of infrastructural venture execution because of progress in stakeholder participation. The correlation coefficient (R) showed the quality of connection between the variable. The investigation discovered that the correlation  coefficient was 0.838 which clarifies in this way there was certain connection between achievement of infrastructural venture usage and stakeholder participation. R2 was 0.834 which implied that there was 83.4% variety in achievement of infrastructural venture execution because of progress in monitoring and evaluation. The correlation coefficient (R) demonstrated the quality of connection between the variable. The investigation discovered that the correlation coefficient was 0.913 which clarifies consequently there was certain connection between accomplishment of infrastructural venture execution and monitoring and evaluation. There is significant relationship between political risk, training, stakeholder involvement, monitoring and evaluation and success of infrastructural project implementation. Based on the findings; the study recommended that for successful infrastructural project implementation then political risk has to be handled well since most of the time is beyond control being an external factor, training has to be considered regarding workforce available to implement the said project, stakeholder involvement is key and monitoring and evaluation has to be done at every expected stage of the project.

Abstract:Solid waste management is meant to ensure that the processing of solid waste materials is due in a way that best addresses the range of public health, aesthetics, conservation and other environmental considerations. Municipalities are spending significant resources to address this problem, but the overall situation is far from satisfactory and rapid and haphazard urban growth is making the problem worse. The purpose of this study was to establish the determinants of effective Solid Waste Management in Mombasa Municipality, Kenya and explore opportunities for waste reduction and recycling. The study was guided by certain objectives which were: to analyze the degree to which reusing materials contribute towards enhanced strong waste administration in Mombasa County; to survey the degree to which government strategies contribute towards enhanced strong waste administration in Mombasa County; to set up the degree to which education and awareness contribute towards enhanced waste administration in Mombasa County and to evaluate the degree to which public support contributes towards enhanced waste administration in Mombasa County. The investigation was anchored by three hypotheses; stakeholder hypothesis; behavioral finance hypothesis and institutional hypothesis. The investigation received a clear study explore structure. The investigation sample population was 240 respondents overviewed from a populace size of 450 representatives. Illustrative inferential insights which mean, standard and rate were utilized, and tables and figures used to exhibit information. R² was 0.843 which inferred that there was 84.3% assortment in solid waste management in view of advancement in recycling. The examination found that the association coefficient was 0.918 which indicated that there was a significant relationship between solid waste management and recycling. The study found that recycling when held to an enduring zero then improved solid waste organization would be 1.893. Other than a unit augment in recycling would incite an extension in enhanced waste administration by a factor of 1.242. R² was 0.875 which implied that there was 87.5% variety in enhanced solid waste management because of progress in government policy. The examination found that the association coefficient was 0.935 which illuminates as such there was sure association between solid waste management and government policy. The examination found that organization approaches when held to a consistent zero then improved solid waste would be 0.176. R² was 0.769 which inferred that there was 76.9% assortment in solid waste due to advance in education and awareness. The examination found that the association coefficient was 0.877 which elucidates thusly there was sure association between improved solid waste management and education and awareness. The examination found that education and awareness when held to an unfaltering zero then improved solid waste would be 0.556. R² was 0.729 which inferred that there was 72.9% assortment in upgraded solid waste organization due to advance out in the open participation. The examination found that the association coefficient was 0.854 which illuminates thusly there was certain association between improved solid waste and public participation. The examination found that open help when held to a steady zero then waste management would be 0.667. From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that public participation contributesinfluences on improved solid waste management, recycling contributesinfluences on improved solid waste management, education and awareness contributesinfluences on improved solid waste management, government policy contributesinfluences on improved solid waste management.
