For projects to be successfully implemented, consultation between the implementing agencies should be factored in as a project planning and management process. This paper looks at the influence of stakeholder consultation on the implementation of water projects in Machakos County, Kenya. The study targeted 172 water projects under implementation in the County of Machakos with respondents being seven members of project management committees. A simple random sampling technique was used in selecting 17 water projects. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 120 respondents managing 17 water projects. Quantitative collected data was analysed using descriptive (means, standard deviation, frequencies, and percentages) inferential statistics (correlation statistics).  The study established a strong positive correlation (r = 0.652) between the strategy of consulting stakeholders and the implementation of water projects. The study concluded that increased stakeholders’ consultation would result in effective water projects implementation in the county. The study recommends that there is a need for the identification of link persons or officials who will always represent them during the implementation process.

Descriptive Survey

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of teachers’ motivation and process of quality education in primary schools of Ethiopia. A descriptive survey was employed to achieve this purpose. Among the 40 government primary schools found in Banija District, 12(30%) were taken as a sample by using the simple random sampling technique. A sample size of 119 teachers was selected by using the systematic random sampling technique. 12 principals were also purposively included in the study. The instruments of data collection were questionnaire and interview. The data gathered through close-ended questionnaires were analysed quantitatively by frequency, percentages, mean and Pearson’s correlation statistics. The data gathered through document analysis and interviews were analysed qualitatively through narration for the purpose of triangulation. The results indicate that the teachers had a low level of motivation with extrinsic motivators. On the other hand, the findings of the study showed that teachers had a good status of intrinsic motivation and the status of their process of quality education was also good. Finally, the research findings revealed that, as teachers’ motivation increases their processes of quality education also increases. Thus, this study recommends that in order to deliver quality education, teachers should be motivated with attractive salaries, provision of accommodation and instituting awards, as well as strengthening intrinsic motivators.   Keywords: Teachers’ motivation, process, quality education, primary school.

Sustainability of Community Based Water Projects (CBWP) in Central Tanzania was examined. Actors’ power was hypothesized to influence sustainability of the CBWP. Power was analyzed from two aspects; power structures and power relations. A cross-sectional design was adopted, which allowed data to be collected once at a point. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to get the study sample. Stratified random sampling was employed to get 30 CBWP for the study and simple random sampling was used for obtaining 390 households. Purposive sampling was also employed to obtain the key informants for in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions Quantitative data obtained were processed and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 16v.) while qualitative data were transcribed and content analysis was employed in analyzing them. In examining the power structure the study shows that institutions and empowerment have significant correlation with sustainability status of the CBWP. The study also shows that global and national actors have high influence/power in effecting the CBWP critical activities. The local actors are perceived to be powerless; however, the study indicates importance of recognizing them because their position as powerless actors may limit their participation in the CBWP and thus jeopardizing the chances of yielding sustainable CBWP.
