摘要：Project planning process is important for successful perfomance of a project. The objective of this study therefore, was to assess the effect of project planning process on performance of NGOs funded projects by surveying projects funded by Compassion International Rwanda. The target population of this study consisted of 100 staff from the 25 Implementing Church Partners that have projects funded by Compassion International Rwanda in Kigali city in the districts of Gasabo, Kicukiro and Nyarugenge. The study used stratified random sampling technique to select 79 project staff from a target population of 100 staff staff To make the study possible, primary data was collected by use of a questionnaire from the 79 respondents, the project staff who are the implementers of Compassion International Rwanda funded projects. Out of the 79 sampled staff 55 were able to fill and return the questionnaires thus representing a response rate of 70%. The data collected was first captured in Microsoft Excel, checked for completion and codded. Data for this study was analyzed quantitatively using percentages, frequencies and using multiple linear regression. Statistical software called Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 15.0 was used to execute the multiple linear regression. The results were presented using tables for ease of understanding which allowed for interpretation of findings and also generate recommendations from the findings. The study found out that project planning process has a direct effect on performance of NGOs funded project especially for Compassion International Rwanda funded projects were the research was carried out. However, it was revealed through the research that although Compassion International Rwanda Implementing church partners are aware of the project planning process components, the project planning process in these Implementing church partners is not widely applied comprehensively. The researcher therefore recommended that more emphasis should be put in the project planning process by the Implementing church partners so as to improve on the performance of projects funded by Compassion International Rwanda. The researcher recommends that more studies be done in the area of project planning process by studying the other components not covered by this study as well studying the effect of project planning process on implementation and monitoring and evaluation.
