Rapid technological progress is being made. There has been a rise in the number of businesses and employees. Better job performance and more motivation are two ways in which empowering workers may help businesses and their bottom lines. The general objective of this study was to assess the influence of project teams on performance of learning through play project in Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda. The public and private sector in Rwanda, particularly in the domain of project management, faces significant challenges in achieving successful and efficient project outcomes. Instances of failed projects, delayed contracts, inactive assets, non-compliance with taxation laws, and budget absorption challenges have been observed. Specifically, the study had the following objectives: examine the effect of in-service trainings on performance of Learning through Play project of Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda, assess the effect of project team motivation on performance of learning through Play project of Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda and determine the effect of project team leadership on performance of learning through play project in Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda. For this study, the population was 216 project staff of learning through play project in Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda. The sample size was determined by the help of Solvin (1960) formula. The use of formula with the given dataset results in a sample size of 140. The study used the following instruments for data collection: a survey, interviews, and documentary. To conduct data analysis, the researcher employed the Statistical Products and Service Solutions (SPSS). In this study, a descriptive and correlational approach were utilized. Descriptive analysis involved calculating the frequency, proportion, and percentage values for each component. The R value is 0.791, indicating a strong positive correlation between the predictors (project leadership, in-service trainings, project team motivation) and the dependent variable (performance of the LtP project). The R Square value, which is 0.625, signifies that approximately 62.5% of the variability in the performance of the LtP project is explained by the combination of the predictor variables (project leadership, in-service trainings, project team motivation). To enhance the performance of the Learning through Play (LtP) project at Inspire Educate and Empower Rwanda, it is recommended to customize in-service trainings modules based on team members' needs, implement a feedback mechanism for continuous improvement, establish a structured recognition and rewards system beyond monetary incentives, foster a supportive team environment through team-building activities, invest in leadership training for project leaders, and prioritize open and transparent communication to ensure well-informed decision-making.","PeriodicalId":480774,"journal":{"name":"Journal of entrepreneurship & project management","volume":"5 49","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136228670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective stakeholder engagement ensures that the voices and perspectives of all relevant parties, such as government agencies, local communities, NGOs, and consumers, are heard and considered throughout the project lifecycle. By actively involving stakeholders in the M&amp;E process, projects benefit from their valuable insights, leading to better-informed decision-making, improved project design, and enhanced transparency. Ultimately, this collaborative approach contributes to more efficient and sustainable project outcomes, addressing the diverse needs and interests of the stakeholders involved. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The target population was 250 stakeholders in Water Supply Project (Cotter Dam) in Australia.&nbsp; The study did sampling of 220 respondents that were chosen from the target population of 250 stakeholders of Cotter Dam in Australia. Questionnaires were used to gather the data. In conclusion, the evidence from the Cotter Dam project in Australia underscores the critical importance of stakeholder participation in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;E) for the successful execution of water supply projects. Active involvement of stakeholders, including government bodies, environmental organizations, local communities, and consumers, leads to improved decision-making, transparency, and accountability throughout a project's lifecycle. By embracing lessons from the Cotter Dam, future water supply projects can adopt more inclusive, transparent, and collaborative approaches, ultimately ensuring the continued success and sustainability of critical infrastructure initiatives. The study recommended that to enhance the effectiveness of stakeholder participation in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;E) for water supply projects in Australia, it is crucial to establish robust communication channels that engage a diverse range of stakeholders, from government agencies to local communities. Additionally, clear policies and guidelines should be implemented to ensure mandatory stakeholder involvement and accountability, fostering a more inclusive, transparent, and successful project execution.
