Abstract: Over the past decades procurement planning has been attracting great attention from practitioners, academicians and researchers due to poor performance resulting from non-adherence to proper procurement planning. Literature suggests that Procurement Planning is one of the primary functions of procurement with a potential to contribute to the success of operations and improved performance. This study therefore sought to examine the relationship between procurement planning practices on procurement performance in state corporations. To achieve this the study determined the effect of proper need assessment on procurement performance, determined the effect of procurement cost estimation on procurement performance, determined the effect of quality specification of goods on procurement performance and determine the effect of risk management on procurement performance. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study targeted 124 employees of REG working on Rwanda Electricity Access Roll-Out Program (EARP) and the sample size was95. Stratified random sampling method was used. A modified Likert scale questionnaire was developed divided into three parts. A pilot study was carried out to refine the instrument. The quality and consistency of the study was further assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Data analysis was performed on a PC computer using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 21) for Windows. Analysis was done using frequency counts, percentages, means and standard deviation, regression, correlation and the information generated was presented in form of graphs, charts and tables.
