A case study considers Kpando and Ho Municipal Assemblies where joint venture as risk mitigating mechanism in the municipalities are new. The research methodology used descriptive statistics using Kruskal- Wallis nonparametric group alternative analysis, which compares more than one means or groups to obtain the p-values and mean values. The cut-off point of 5.00 for mean and median marks as well as p=0.005 were set and considered based on five-point Likert scale designed. It was found from the study that risk such as technical risk, managerial risks, market risks legal risks and political risks were rated very high It was concluded from the study that risk is an inherit dieases which is prevalent in construction project supplies. It affects Joint venture construction implementation process requiring effective and efficient identification, qualifiacation as well as risk response strategies to mitigate the impact.
