| dc.description.abstract | Over the years, huge sums of money have been invested by government in the pursuit of infrastructure development. This is because infrastructure has been described as the backbone of every economy. However, despite the positive intentions with which these resources are committed to using, available evidence suggests that most of the physical projects that are designed end up being abandoned making the intended beneficiaries unable to use the facilities. It is against this backdrop that this study aim at determining a more operative way of delivering projects to solve the problem of project abandonment in Ghana with focus on the Bono region. This study focused on the effective project delivery process, the current challenges in project delivery and relevant strategies for effective project delivery. The study employed quantitative design, employing the method of a Descriptive research design whiles the target population for was the key local government workers of Sunyani Municipal Assembly and Sunyani West District Assembly in the department of Planning, Finance, Procurement and Works who are directly involved infrastructure project development. The study relied on simple random sampling in coming up with a sample size of 55 from a population of 63 respondents. The study focused on primary data sources with a self-administered questionnaire that was utilized as a sources of data. Data collected for this research was purely quantitative. The quantitative data which was collected were examined with the help of Statistical Package for social sciences. The findings of the research were presented in the form of frequency tables. Whiles the explanation was presented in the text. The study concluded that all the MMDAs in the Bono region go through all the five phases/process (Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Control, and Closer) to deliver infrastructure projects. Again, the study concluded that financial challenges, political factors, delayed payment of contractors and corruption are the major challenges of project delivery. In addition, the study concluded that the following relevant strategies should be put in place to help solve the current challenges of project deliver; public-private partnership, budgetary provisions should be made available before awarding a contract, proper stakeholder consultation, adequate feasibility should be conducted, proper budgeting, continuous project monitoring, adequate planning, contracts should not be awarded to contractors who do not have sufficient expertise on a particular work and finally prompt payment of contractors certificate. | en_US |
