Abstract

The allocation of National Government Constituency Development Fund (NGCDF) to schools has indeed yielded positive outcomes. However CDF School funded projects in Uasin Gishu County encounter various performance challenges, including persistent delays in implementation, instances of financial mismanagement and the delivery of infrastructure that fails to meet expected standards. The study sought to assess the effect of effect of contract terms practice and performance of national government constituency development fund projects in Uasin Gishu County. The study was anchored on the contingency theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The study targeted CDF committee members from all the 6 constituencies in Uasin Gishu County. Each constituency has 9 CDF committee members therefore the total CDF committee members were 54. The study also targeted 136 project management committee members of continuing school infrastructure projects funded by CDF within Uasin Gishu County. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaires and interview schedules. Qualitative data was analyzed through thematic analysis while quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the findings the study concluded that there was a moderate positive and statistically significant correlation between contract terms management practices and performance of CDF funded school infrastructure projects in Uasin Gishu County (r=0.657; p<0.05). The study recommended that the government authorities and CDF board should ensure that contract terms are clearly defined and adhered to throughout the project lifecycle.
