Abstract
Successful housing projects improve living conditions and support community development, but many, especially in rural areas, struggle with issues like delays, cost overruns, and poor implementation, which can prevent them from reaching their goals. This study aims to investigate the effect of project management practices on implementation of integrated housing development projects in Rwanda, focusing specifically on the Kinigi Settlement Project, specifically, planning, stakeholder involvement, risk management, and M&E. This study was based on the Stakeholder Theory and Theory of Change (ToC) and adopted a descriptive and correlational research design, targeting 151 participant including project managers, site engineers, government officials, community leaders, and household beneficiaries of the Kinigi settlement. Questionnaire and interview were the main instruments for data collection. The pilot study tested the research tools with 15 respondents (representing 10% of the sample size) to check their accuracy and consistency. Experts confirmed the tools' validity with a score of 0.78, and reliability was proven with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79, showing the tools were effective for data collection. By using SPSS 28 version, descriptive statistics were used to determine frequencies and percentages, while regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficients were employed to examine the relationships between the variables. The null hypothesis that project planning (p =0.000< 0.05) and risk management have no significant effect on implementation of integrated housing development projects were rejected while stakeholder involvement (p = 0.200 > 0.05) and monitoring and evaluation (p = 0.546 > 0.05) having no significant effect on project implementation were accepted. The study concludes that while factors like planning, risk management, and leadership are crucial for the success of Integrated Housing Development Projects in Rwanda, stakeholder involvement and Monitoring & Evaluation have minimal impact on project outcomes. Based on these findings, the study recommends prioritizing robust planning and risk management, improving stakeholder engagement strategies, and enhancing the integration of M&E with other project management processes for more effective outcomes in future housing projects. Further research should explore advanced risk management techniques, such as predictive analytics and scenario-based planning, to improve project planning and execution in high-risk environments.
