The objectives of the study included establishing the relationships between i) Stakeholder engagement and performance management ii) leadership competences and performance management iii) performance management and projects sustainability. Across quantitative survey design was used to collect data from the MOH‘s projects through the use of quantitative approach. A self administered Questionnaire was used to collect data and analyzed using a statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) software. The findings revealed significant positive correlations between Stakeholder engagement and performance management (r =.64, p < .01), leadership competences and performance management (r=.55, p- value< 0.01), Performance management and projects sustainability (r=.34, p<0.01). The findings revealed that Leadership Competences, Stakeholder Engagement and Performance Management can predict 35.9% of Projects Sustainability. This is deduced from the Adjusted R Square value of 0.359. The results further indicate that Leadership Competences, Stakeholder Engagement are significant predictors of the Projects Sustainability (p<.05) while Performance Management was not a significant predictor of Project Sustainability (sig. >.05) in this regression model which was statistically significant (sig. <.01). The study recommends the improvement of Leadership Competences, Stakeholder Engagement and Performance Management so as to enhance projects sustainability.
