Abstract:
Project management success is extremely interesting topic from scientific, as well as practical
point of view. World Vision Ethiopia is now implementing various activities with the goal of
reducing of Maternal and New Born Morbidity and Mortality. This study is designed to
investigate the determinants of project success in World Vision Ethiopia. It adopted a cross
sectional research design and collected primary quantitative data from 123 respondents working
in all levels of the organization project and partners from woreda. Data were collected through
Self-administrative Questions by using approved questionnaire and analyzed using correlation,
binary logistic regression analysis. The results of study showed that the more projects have
clearly defined project communications management have positive influences as: project are
more likely to respects cost estimation; risk management; team is well-built and managed;
fund increased; monitoring and evaluation on time increased and Sustainability is increased. A
range of independent variables were regressed against the dependent variable (project success)
using the binary logistic regression model. The findings revealed that detail project design, work
plan, cost estimation, strict project scope management, strict communication management and
well-established infrastructures in implementation area program were found to be positive and
statistically significant whereas timely and regular monitoring was found to be negative and
statistically significant.The authors recommended that the government has to give attention to
the basic infrastructures of the implementation areas. It is recommended to take the study further
