Background
This study sought to investigate the effect of project management practices and the implementation of HIV projects in the aid support organization in South Sudan.
Methodology
The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional study design. A population of 210 was targeted. The respondents were the project managers who were the main custodians of information on each project, stratified either in the TASO main office or the field staff offices.
Results
(50%) were married, 35% were single. The largest number of respondents felt that project planning specified project goals and objectives, as supported by a mean of 3.968 with a standard deviation of 0.994. The majority of the respondents had a strong opinion that monitoring and evaluation were not practiced in the county, as supported by a mean of 2.023 with a standard deviation of 1.021. More than 50% of the respondents were in agreement that projects took care of users’ needs in all outcomes, as supported by a mean of 3.894 with a standard deviation of 0.817. The respondent could not remember whether the project. The coefficient of correlation R was 0.67, an indication of a strong positive correlation between the variables. Project planning, stakeholder participation, monitoring, and evaluation significantly influenced the implementation of TASO projects in South Sudan.
Conclusions
Project planning was not practiced, and therefore, the organization executives were not able to monitor progress towards attaining the goal. Stakeholders were not involved in the project implementation, and therefore, they did not assume some measure of responsibility during the system initiation.
Recommendations
The study also recommends that the project managers should define all the project processes and create a communication matrix in the project planning.
