Abstract: Projects exist to meet a specific need and Compassion Kenya-assisted holistic child development projects are among such projects whose intent is to liberate children and youth from their economic, spiritual, physical and socio-emotional poverty. Success of these projects depends on a number of factors such as planning, communications, employee competence and risk management. How these factors influence project performance is an area that has not been explored before and as such formed a basis for this study. This study sought to investigate the influence of project planning on the performance of Compassion Kenya-assisted Holistic Child Development projects in Nairobi City County. The study used descriptive research design to describe factors and variables in the study. A census of the 21 Compassion Kenya (CKE)-assisted Holistic Child Development (HCD) projects in Nairobi City County was carried out. Primary data was gathered by use of structured questionnaires which was processed by use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Research findings were presented in percentages and tables. Study findings revealed that Planning positively and significantly correlated with performance of Compassion Kenya-assisted HCD projects in Nairobi City County. According to the findings of this study the HCD projects conducted project planning but excluded other stakeholders in decision making. The same had hindered performance of the projects. The study recommended that all stakeholders in the HCD projects be involved in the planning process and their ideas considered valuable by the managers in decision making regardless of their position in the projects. The vision, mission and objectives of the HCD projects should be well explained to all stakeholders so that they all flow in sync.
