    NGO Projects remain a mainstay of the economies of many countries even when most of them perform dismally. Several independent studies have been done on project leadership and beneficiary involvement in relation to project success, but little has been done on the combined effect of project leadership and beneficiary involvement on project success. This study aimed at establishing the relationship between project leadership, beneficiary involvement and project success among NGO projects in Mukono District. The objectives of this study were to examine: the relationship between project leadership and project success; beneficiary involvement and project success; the combined effect of project leadership and beneficiary involvement on project success. A conceptual framework rooted in the administrative management theory was used. The administrative management theory attempts to find a rational way to design an organization as a whole. The theory generally calls for a formalized administrative structure, a clear division of labor, and delegation of power and authority to administrators relevant to their areas of responsibilities. A cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative approach in generating the required information was used. In this study, there were seven NGOs and 45 NGO projects being implemented in Mukono district from which 240 stakeholders were drawn as respondents. This number was determined using a sample determination table. The non-probability sampling procedure was adopted since the population size of active NGO projects was not well defined due to the covid-19 pandemic lockdown. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the NGO projects appropriate for this study based on their accessibility. Data collection was done using survey questionnaires and the SPSS software package was used for data analysis. Project leadership had a positive linear relationship with project success (r=0.377, p
