Effect of Project Quality Management on Performance of School Feeding Programmes in Rwanda: A Case Study of Kanombe Sector Twelve Years Basic Education

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of project quality on performance of school feeding program in Rwanda. The study adopted descriptive research design. The correlation between a dependent variable and project quality management variables are displayed through regression analysis. "Project quality planning" has a negative and not statistically significant impact (Beta = -108, p = 0.291) on the dependent variable, suggesting that project quality planning has a moderate effect on the dependent variable. "Project accountability" also demonstrates a negative unstandardized coefficient of -0.094. Some other factor has to be considered for the coming research on this subject, because the literature supports the notion that accountability in project management is essential for achieving project success "Project ethics" has an unstandardized negative coefficient of -0.106. On the other hand, the dependent variable is positively impacted by project ethics, as indicated by the standardized coefficient (Beta) of -0.187. Project ethics has a positive overall impact on school feeding program performance, "Project quality control" shows a positive unstandardized coefficient of 0.041 with a high standard error of 0.057. The standardized coefficient (Beta) of -0.187 (Beta) of 0.069 indicates a moderate relationship with the dependent variable, but this result is not statistically significant (t = 0.731, p = 0.467), likely due to the high standard error affecting its reliability. Quality control is a crucial aspect of project management, and its impact on project success may vary based on context and implementation. In conclusion, the study shows that traditional Project Quality Management practices, such as planning, accountability, ethics, and quality control, may not significantly influence the performance of school feeding programs. While project ethics demonstrated some impact, it was negative, suggesting that balancing ethical compliance with operational efficiency is crucial.
