Results further indicate that risk management is a significant mediator of the relationship between stakeholder inclusiveness and project performance. Based on the findings, the researcher concludes that stakeholder inclusiveness is a positive and significant predictor of project performance while risk management mediates the relationship between the two variables. The researcher therefore recommends that recommends proper definition of project objectives. This is achieved through ensuring clarity in project objectives which helps stakeholders understand what the project aims to achieve.
