Abstract: To achieve established governmental developmental goals, it is essential that funded projects align with community priorities and address urgent needs. However, the projects funded by the NG-CDF in Dagoretti North Constituency have not met expectations, as residents voice their discontent regarding poor project selection, inferior construction quality, stalled projects, and neglected completed initiatives. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of influence of procurement planning on project performance of national government constituency development fund projects. The study employed a descriptive design. The study targeted 20 NG-CDF projects completed between 2020 and 2024. The study population was 45 participants. All the respondents were sampled. Data collection was executed through questionnaires that were pretested with 6 participants in Kiambu County, Kenya, who were excluded from the final analysis. To ensure clarity and understandability, the questionnaires underwent content validity assessment and validation through the split-half method. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the quantitative data analysis results, which are shown in tables and figures. The results showed that procurement planning had a positive significant influence on the performance of NG-CDF projects in Dagoretti North Constituency. The study concludes that efficient procurement planning guarantees that financial resources allocated for NG-CDF projects are utilized efficiently. The study recommends that the constituency should analyze past procurement data to identify trends, successful strategies, and areas for improvement.
