| dc.description.abstract | Globally billions of dollars have been spent on community to enhance and strengthen the living condition of people (Peter et al., 2015). Most often these dollars are offered on a temporary basis and projects typically have finite timeframe, yet the impact of the assistance and project are intended to be lasting, but this is not the case for most of the projects in Sub Saharan Africa (Ababa, 2013). To ensure sustainability, stakeholder participation should be adopted as core ingredient in any sustainable development project (Golicha, D.T. 2010). This study was carried out in Iganga district which is located eastern Uganda, in Busoga Region. The motivation of this study was to examine whether project management practices, stake holder participation have any relationship with sustainability of garbage collection projects in Iganga district. This study used a quantitative methodology to research. It therefore draws on the cross sectional study. The findings revealed that, when stakeholders participate in a project, it is more likely that the project will be sustained and therefore survive for long; there is a significant positive effect of project management practices and stakeholder participation on sustainability. The challenges; the study only focused on garbage projects yet other projects may also have sustainability issues, the independent variables could not adequately examine project sustainability of garbage projects, the study used a cross-sectional research design which could not explain project sustainability of garbage projects. This may require a longitudinal research design. Therefore, the research design used was cross-sectional thus a longitudinal study can be carried out on similar variables. This is because there is need to understand how the two study variables influence project sustainability over a period of time. | |
