Abstract: Sustainability is a challenging aspect in project management, especially in developing countries. Millions of dollars in form of donor funds are wasted in expenditure on projects whose outcomes are no longer felt once donor funds are ceased. This study aims to determine the influence of project management process on the sustainability of donor funded health projects among NGOs in Nairobi County. The influence of Stakeholders participation was used to assess sustainability of donor funded health projects among NGOs. Adopting an extensive review of primary sources of data relevant to the projects the study adopted resource based and stakeholders’ theories. The study focused on health projects implemented between the years 2013 and 2017 and the researcher used descriptive survey design. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The target population was all project managers working in the 379 NGOs implementing health projects in Nairobi County. Simple random sampling method was used to sample 195 project managers in NGOS implementing donor funded health projects in Nairobi County. Data collection tools were piloted among NGOs that were implementing health projects in Nairobi County but were not part of the sample population. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to measure the relationship between project management process and project sustainability. The regression analysis yielded a coefficient of R value of 0.688a and R2 =0.474.Similarly the overall model showed a statistically significant influence of stakeholder participation on project sustainability (p< 0.001). Having achieved the objective, the study rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternate hypothesis that stakeholder participation has a significant influence on sustainability of donor funded NGO projects in Nairobi County.
