Abstract: World Food Programme, feeding projects have been designed for various communities living in Kenya. Feeding programs in the slums were initiated to increase school attendance by providing food for learners in public schools. However, the sustainability of such programs remains a challenge. There were challenges with the continuity of the programme as the government is yet to release funds to cover the counties that previously benefited from the programme. The aim of this research was to explore the project management practices and sustainability of projects funded by the World food program in Nairobi County, Kibra constituency. The specific objectives were to determine how project management, stakeholder need assessment, cost management, quality management, and monitoring and evaluation management affect the sustainability of World Food Programme sponsored projects in Kenya. The survey was anchored on the theories of Change, Empowerment, and Institutional. A regression model was utilized to examine the effect of stakeholder’s assessment, cost management, quality management and, monitoring and evaluation management on sustainability of projects under the study. Regression result shows that project management practices had a positive significant impact on the project sustainability of funded projects. The study concludes that the project management practices adopted have been effective in Kibera constituency. The study recommends that the organizations should pay keen attention to project cost management practices of the projects. Secondly, the study recommends that project quality management practices should be enhanced. Lastly, the study recommends that a monitoring committee should be established to review the projects on regular basis.
