Roads Projects in Kanduyi Sub-County: Strategic Formulation and Sustainability
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Project Planning and Management
Abstract
Road construction projects can experience delays due to a variety of reasons, including: Weather conditions: Permitting and approvals: Unforeseen site conditions: Funding issues: Labor and equipment availability: Design changes: Strategic formulation is important for road construction sustainability because it helps to ensure that road construction projects are designed and constructed in a way that is efficient, environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and planned for the long-term. The objective of this paper is to determine how strategic formulation sustains road projects in Kanduyi Sub-County. 112 contractors, 10 technical supervisors, 5 ward administrators, and 2 KeRRA workers were the target group. Both interviews and questionnaires were employed as data collection methods for this study. Closed-ended questions were included in the questionnaires to capture specific information. This study used descriptive analysis. The research's conclusions demonstrated that road project activities were adequately developed, planned, and managed, allowing for the development and application of innovative concepts. There was collaboration with experts who were familiar with the contract as well as with government experts who compiled data into accessible resources. Finally, there was coordination with stakeholders on the core of strategy formulation, as well as collaboration with IT specialists who developed the technical infrastructure to support information system management. This suggests that businesses engaged in road construction embrace strategy formulation.
