The study sought to investigate the factors that determine effective implementation of health
projects in Gedo region of Somalia. The specific objectives were to: establish how
communication determines project implementation; assess how planning determines project
implementation; establish how financial support influence project implementation; and assess
how monitoring and evaluation efforts determines project implementation. This research study
adopted descriptive research design in an attempt to investigate the factors that determine
effective project implementation. The target population of this study was 55 employees of World
Vision working under health projects in Gedo region of Somalia. The researcher determined the
instrument’s content and construct validity through the help of expert judgment (the supervisor).
The researcher used Cronbach alpha to test for reliability. Primary data was gathered directly
from respondents through questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for data
analysis. The study found that poor communication minimizes chances of creating an
understanding, an approval of the implementation and sharing information between the project
team and communicating to the whole organization thus resulting in ineffective project
implementation. The study found that World Vision Somalia has a plan for implementation
stages that helps in assessing keenness of an organization for change as well as the efficacy of
the proposed change targets. The study found that there was enough financial support for project
implementation at World Vision Somalia thus effective project implementation since finances
are essential in the running of a project initiative in terms of facilitating execution of
implementation tasks. It found that making allowances for adequate monitoring and evaluation
gives the project manager and field officials the ability to anticipate problems, to oversee
corrective measures, and to ensure that no deficiencies are overlooked thus resulting in effective
project implementation. The study recommends that World Vision should improve integrated
communications plan to improve project implementation. The organization should allocate
sufficient funds to projects and ensure there is independency in utilization of the funds.
