dc.description.abstractIn recent times businesses aim are not only to meet the needs and desire of its stakeholder but also have an array of addressing their competing interests. Hence, how business can operate in this increasingly challenging stakeholder environment is touted to be essential to both business and project sustenance. Accordingly, this study explored how stakeholder engagement influences project execution success at Sanzule in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region. The study aims at establishing the challenges that constrained the exploration company in managing their stakeholder engagement and identify key measures to employ by the company to address the difficulties associated with their stakeholders’ management in the Sanzule project. The study adopted Stratified sampling, the population came from both the internal (management team of the company and Sanzule community) as well as the external stakeholders (i.e., state agencies and civil society groups). The sample size for the strata stood at one hundred and seven (108). The sample size for management team was twenty-one (21). The community members were Eighty-three (83), and the sample size for the district assembly and the NGO group sample size stood at four (4) each. The study adopted both the quantitative and qualitative. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean whereas the interview data was analyzed using content analysis. Findings from the study suggested that the implementing organization equitably informed leaders of the community about the purpose of the company on their land but afterward failed to involve them in the day to day the project implementation. Again, the study identified that the inability of the exploration company to understand the local context situations made it difficult for them to adapt their engagement strategies and approaches to reflect that of the local conditions. Accordingly, on this score it is recommended to the management of the exploration company first seek to understand the ‘intangibles’ parts of communities thus, customs and traditions of the host community before commencing any exploration activities in their next futureen_US
