Project Selection Criteria

Counties in Kenya are still largely underdeveloped despite huge government and donor funds being made available. Strategic projects selection and implementation is necessary for the funds to be meaningful. This book explores problems associated with public sector project selection in developing countries. The overall objective is to identify good practice in project selection procedures for developing countries with specific reference to the Local Authorities in Kenya. The main questions are: what major factors influence selection decisions at the project selection stage and why are the projects not delivering the intended impacts? The book takes a case study approach; the sample being drawn from both the management committee of the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF) and the target beneficiaries of the fund. The book addresses strategic project selection issues surrounding management of projects and proposes a model that could be replicated by other Local Authorities
