Purpose: The purpose of this project is to assess the influence of stakeholders’ management on loan capital project performance by Edify Rwanda.
Methodology: A descriptive and correlational research design was employed for data collection. The sample included 201 participants: 60 head teachers, 60 school owners, 11 bank managers, and 70 Edify Rwanda staff. The sample size of 133 respondents, consisting of 126 for quantitative data and 7 for qualitative data, was determined using the Slovin formula.
Findings: The findings from the multiple regression analysis indicated that stakeholders’ expectations and needs identification and stakeholder conflict resolutions had significant effect on loan capital project performance by Edify Rwanda. However, stakeholder communication and stakeholder involvement had insignificant effect on loan capital project performance by Edify Rwanda.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that Edify Rwanda should implement mechanisms to ensure that community members have a more significant role in selecting projects. This could involve regular community meetings and consultations to gather input and prioritize projects based on local needs. In order to improve stakeholder engagement, Edify Rwanda should develop robust feedback mechanisms that allow stakeholders to voice their concerns and suggestions throughout the project lifecycle. This could include surveys, suggestion boxes, and regular follow-up meetings.
