Abstract

This study investigates stakeholder perceptions of public project failures in Ghana's Greater Accra Region. Sixty stakeholders completed questionnaires, revealing that corruption, payment delays, procurement processes, planning, monitoring, bureaucracy, communication, and supervision were major causes of failure. Effects included revenue loss, discouraged investment, unemployment, increased project costs, impacted economic growth, substandard infrastructure, service relocation, capacity loss, and emotional stress for stakeholders. The study recommends government strategies to address corruption, bureaucracy, political influence, and improve procurement, supervision, monitoring, planning, and management practices.
