The objective of this study was to investigate how stakeholder involvement practices
influence the performance of road projects in Uasin Gishu County, and the specific
objective was to determine how baseline information provision influences the
performance of road projects in Uasin Gishu County. In this study, Participatory
Development theory and Stakeholder Theory were used, with the anchor theory being
Stakeholder Theory. The study was conducted using a descriptive research design, with
a target population of 152 respondents from Uasin Gishu County and a sample size of
110, where stratified random sampling was adopted. The researcher used a questionnaire
as the main research instrument, and data were analysed using descriptive and
inferential statistics with the help of SPSS version 25. Presentation of analysed data was
done using percentages, mean and standard deviation by use of frequency tables The
study findings showed that baseline information provision significantly affects the
performance of road projects in Uasin Gishu County. A positive linear relationship
between baseline information provision and project performance suggests that project
management teams should ensure adequate provision for baseline data collection. The
study recommends that project managers should focus on collecting and sharing baseline
information for road projects, involving stakeholders in defining key performance
indicators (KPIs), and establishing standardized protocols for data collection and sharing.
