Abstract

Abstract: For many years, various donor-funded projects have been initiated to improve community livelihoods in Homa Bay County. Despite these efforts, the region continues to experience persistent challenges, including HIV prevalence rate significantly higher than the national average. This has led to an influx of donor and government-funded initiatives, particularly in agriculture, aimed at addressing food security and economic stability. However, many of these projects struggle with long-term sustainability, often due to gaps in strategic management and policy support. This study examines the moderating effect of organization culture and project sustainability. A descriptive survey research design was utilized, targeting a population of 2,432 participants, including accountants, project auditors, fund evaluation team managers, fund team managers, and farmers involved in agricultural projects. Data was collected using structured questionnaires with closed-ended questions on a five-point Likert scale, along with interview guides. A sample of 344 respondents was selected through multistage random sampling. The study highlights the importance of culture in enhancing the sustainability of donor-funded projects. The study’s findings are expected to provide insights for policymakers, project managers, and stakeholders on the impact of strategic management practices and government policy on project sustainability. Keywords: Government Policy, Culture, Strategic Management Practices, Sustainability of Agricultural Projects, Sustainability of Donor-Funded Project.
