Abstract: This study sought to establish factors that influence successful completion of county funded projects in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya. The study objectives were: To determine the effect of funds allocation on successful completion of county funded projects in Trans-Nzoia County, to establish how the monitoring and evaluation skills among personnel affect successful completion of county funded projects, to explore the effect of political intervention on successful completion of county funded projects, and to examine how project identification influence completion of projects in County government funded projects. The study was modelled along the Stakeholder Theory, Resource Based View Theory, Agency Theory and Acquired Needs Theory. Descriptive research design was used to survey a target population of 74 respondents where the census method was used since it was less than a hundred which is the maximum number below which census is used. The source of the required data was through the questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out by both the regression tools and ANOVA using output from the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. The findings revealed a statistically significant regression effect and indicated a prediction of the dependent variable through the F calculated (F =179.96). A value greater than 5% level of significance showed a significant model where the independent variables explained 92% (R2 = 0.916) of successful completion of county funded projects. However, Funds Allocation was the most significant determinant of successful completion of county funded projects at 58% with (Standardized β=0.359). The findings of the study will enable the county governments to come up with better approaches in handling challenges in project implementation and completion.
