Refitting Stakeholder Integration Strategies : Case ICT Projects in Kenya

The ICT sector in Kenya is projected to be a leading contributor of the country’s developmental blueprint yet despite this, ICT projects that have been initiated in the country continue to face several challenges. In a review of the sustainability of these projects initiated in the country suggest that the biggest challenge in the ICT project implementation is relatable to the issues of stakeholder management. Particularly, the integration of various stakeholder clusters within the project schema still remains a challenge for the implementation of these projects. The research study examined existing stakeholder management models within the context of stakeholder integration from the ICT projects in Kenya. A Delphi (Qualitative) research model was employed to obtain data. Forty senior project practitioners were interviewed through the Delphi technique. The responses were analyzed through content analysis. The study has proposed a strategic stakeholder management model that could be used to enhance existing stakeholder integration practices in Kenya
