The objectives under this study included examining the effect of project planning, implementation and monitoring on operational performance. The study employed a cross sectional design and also adopted a mixed approach of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study population was 85 from which a sample size of 70 was picked based on Krejci and Morgan (1970) table. Simple random and purposive sampling were used in selecting the respondents. The study findings revealed that project planning is significantly correlated to operational performance by 30.4% at p= 0.025. In terms of the effect, project planning accounts for 9.2% of the variations in organisational performance. project implementation is significantly correlated to operational performance by 40.5% at p= 0.002. In terms of the effect, project implementation accounts for 16.4% of the variations in organisational performance. project monitoring is significantly correlated to operational performance by 56.6% at p= 0.000. In terms of the effect, project monitoring accounts for 32% of the variations in organisational performance. The study concluded that having proper project management practices in place more so for local government plays a significant role in ensuring improved operational performance. The study recommends that; the district should put more emphasis on ensuring that routine planning for projects is encouraged as this shall help in developing proper and accurate budgets for the various projects undertaken by the district. the district should put more emphasis on ensuring that proper project monitoring practices are ensured at the district.
