Abstract: The purpose of the current research was to establish the effect of Project specific factors on performance of Nyandarua County government projects in Kenya. The target population consisted of 384 finance officers in all development projects that were completed in the financial year 2016/2017 in Nyandarua County. Using simple random sampling method 80 respondents were selected from the target population. The data collection was administered using questionnaires designed to obtain accurate information from respondents. The data collected was analyzed using quantitative techniques. The mean, standard deviation, percentages, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regressions were used to determine the relationship between the variables. The findings were presented using tables, charts and graphs. The study established that overall project specific factors had a statistically significant effect on performance of Nyandarua county government projects. Specifically, access to funding, budgetary control and training on financial management had statistically significant effect on performance of Nyandarua county government projects. The study therefore concluded that project specific factors including access to funding, budgetary control and training on financial management had a statistically significant effect on performance of projects implemented by county government of Nyandarua. The recommendations to the leadership of Nyandarua county government were; to improve funding to projects, ensure stronger budgetary controls and ensure the finance managers are well trained on issues of public financial management ensuring the improvement in performance of projects being implemented by the county government.
