dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between stakeholder engagement, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices, and perceived project sustainability in community water and sanitation projects in Mubende District, Uganda. A cross-sectional and quantitative survey design was employed, utilizing Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses to assess both the strength and predictive value of the independent variables on perceived project sustainability. Data were collected from various community-based projects and analysed using SPSS. The correlation results indicated that stakeholder engagement has a moderate and significant positive relationship with perceived project sustainability (r = 0.427, p < 0.01), suggesting that inclusive participation enhances project outcomes. Similarly, monitoring and evaluation practices were positively and significantly associated with perceived project sustainability (r = 0.380, p < 0.01), highlighting the importance of structured feedback, reporting, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Further, regression analysis revealed that stakeholder engagement (β = 0.499, p < 0.001) and M&E practices (β = 0.308, p < 0.001) were both statistically significant predictors of perceived project sustainability, jointly explaining 57.9% of the variance (R² = 0.579). These findings underscore the pivotal role of stakeholder involvement and systematic monitoring in sustaining community-based projects. The study recommends that project implementers strengthen stakeholder collaboration and institutionalize robust M&E frameworks to enhance the long-term viability of development initiatives.
