Abstract
Determining stakeholder interests is important in meeting the sustainability objectives in a
development project. The aim of the study is to examine the importance of effective
stakeholder management strategy to project success; a case of the land administration projectLAP (Lands Commission). Lands Commission was used as a case study. Purposive sampling
was used to select the respondents. Data processing was done by SPSS through descriptive
statistics such as mean, standard deviation and rank score. It was found out that the
approaches that effectively involve stakeholders in the land administration project were;
gathering in meeting and being told what is happening continuously, identification of the
project needs, giving their input for project development, decide on project location and
monitoring the project, participatory monitoring and evaluation and citizen control. The data
revealed that the challenges with stakeholder management strategy in the land administration
project were the slow information flow between parties owing to the struggle to clearly define
the project objectives, changes in the scope of work, conflicts and controversies which
obstruct the project implementation process, and lack of involvement in the project. it was
gathered that opportunities and avenues for dialogue, making efforts to pay attention across
an array of stakeholders rather than limit attention to a few stakeholders and obeying the
demands and rules that are presented by stakeholders were the major strategies instituted to
effectively respond to stakeholders‟ pressures in the planning of the land administration
project. It is recommended that relevant stakeholders must come on board early enough in the
project and remain as long as they have some contributions to make towards the project goal.
This means that the design and implementation team will need to work together right from
the start of the project while the external stakeholders are also carried along where and when
necessary
