dc.description.abstractThe study was aimed at assessing the role of stakeholders in the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in ensuring successful delivery in construction projects. With this aim, three (3) objectives were set which were to identify the roles of stakeholders at the Fanteakwa District Assembly in the delivery in construction projects, to examine the challenges associated with the management of project implementation at the Fanteakwa District Assembly and to suggest methods to overcome these challenges. Using the mixed research method, both textural and numerical data were collected from client representatives, consultants and construction firms in the Fanteakwa District Assembly. For the consultants in the District Assembly, eighteen (18) questionnaires were distributed and sixteen (16) were retrieved for the analysis. For the construction firms, forty-seven (47) questionnaires were distributed however, twenty-seven (27) were retrieved. With regards to the interviews, a structured interview guide was developed as shown in the appendix of this report. The interviewees were the District Chief Executive (DCE), the District Co-ordinating Director (DCD) and two (2) assistant Directors. The data collected were analyzed using mean score ranking and content analysis. From the analysis, it was realized that, the pre-execution phase was significantly performed by the consultants and clients, the execution phase was performed by the construction firms whiles the post-execution phase was performed by clients and consultants. With the second objective, it was realized that, the consultants and contractors had similar views on the challenges associated with the effective delivery of projects in the Fanteakwa North District assembly. The highest ranked challenge among contractors and consultants were poor communication. With the interviews, the most recurring challenge was improper funds management followed by delayed payment. With third objective, it was realized that, the challenges had significant impact on the delivery of projects with unclearness in project objectives having the most significant impact. Finally, from the fourth objective, it was realized that, effective planning and effective communication was the most significant strategy to improve the delivery of projects. From the findings, it was recommended that, consultants must adequately plan the entire construction project to ensure that, they are executed to a set standard and consultants must also set control mechanisms to serve as a check for construction firms in the execution of their work. This will involve setting criteria for measuring the performance of the project executed.en_US
