Keywords: Project feasibility, Supply chain disruptions, Underdeveloped infrastructure
This study aimed to find out the determinants of project feasibility by humanitarian organizations operating in Kenya, with a particular focus at the Dadaab Refugee Complex. The research examined key variables including supply chain disruptions, and underdeveloped infrastructure as independent factors influencing the feasibility of humanitarian projects. The findings will benefit humanitarian organizations in Dadaab by identifying and addressing logistical challenges that may impede effective project implementation, while also providing valuable insights for government policymakers involved in refugee affairs management. Additionally, the study will contribute to scholarly research in humanitarian logistics and project management. Respondents participating in this research included representatives from humanitarian organizations and the Department of Refugee Services (DRS) in Dadaab. The theoretical framework guiding the study was the Resource Dependency Theory, which informed the analysis of how supply chain disruptions and underdeveloped infrastructure affect project feasibility. These variables were clearly operationalized to facilitate robust data collection and analysis. Employing a structured descriptive survey design to collect data, the study targeted all 28 humanitarian organizations operating at the Dadaab refugee complex with 2 purposively selected individuals from each organization as informants. Data was collected through quantitative interviews with structured questionnaires serving as the primary data collection tool with a response rate of 85.7%. The study established that underdeveloped infrastructure and supply chain disruptions had a positive significant influence on project feasibility in humanitarian organizations at the Dadaab Refugee Complex. The study concluded that the two predictor variables are determinants of project feasibility by humanitarian organizations in Kenya and recommended the establishment of key infrastructure and the establishment of a centralized logistics platform as a way forward.
