The purpose of this research study is to establish the need for identification of the
strategic challenges that opt to affect successful implementation of the Common
Development Fund, a fund that the government of Rwanda set up to support the
implementation of decentralized policy. This policy is considered by the Government as
the main strategy to achieve good governance and sustainable economic development
and as a weapon of higher caliber to fight poverty in the Rwandan people. The study
ensures that effective implementation of this policy is realized by availing resources to
grassroots administrative entities and assigning CDF management the mission to
empower those administrative entities by financing development projects. The
Government of Rwanda is conscious that if the fund is effectively used in the right
channels, its financial decentralization objective can be then be achieved well.
The research study aims to conduct a research on CDF Headquarters in the Districts of
Kigali city which include Nyarugenge district, Kicukiro district and Gasabo district and
take a strategy analysis with the aim to identify the challenges that face strategy
implementation of CDF projects, and establish the measures that must be taken to the
encountered challenges in order for CDF as an organization to successfully achieve its
objective.
As quoted by scholars in the field of strategic management, such as Ansoff (1987)
among others, the environmental conditions ever changes with time changes, hence
causing strategic changes which are challenges on the strategies of the organizations
operating within that environment. Therefore, in respect to CDF Headquarters, the study
recommends that strategy analysis should be considered as a major requirement as this
will dig out the challenges facing CDF organization like any other organization to
successfully implement its strategy to achieve its objective. Thus, establishment of such
challenges will enable the researcher to come up with viable measures that will enhance
successful implementation of the strategy to realize the set objective.
