Abstract: Despite the importance of projects in driving growth in communities, solving problems, and improving lives across different sectors, performance issues still plague them. This results in resource waste, unsustainable results, and, in extreme situations, project failure. This study aimed to examine the influence of resource management on the performance of projects, a case of Edmund Rice Catholic Education Centre in Kajiado County, Kenya. A convergent parallel research design and a mixed methods approach were utilized to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The target population was 95 individuals working on projects at ERCEC. Because of the small target population, a census method was employed to include all individuals. Utilizing surveys, quantifiable data was gathered. SPSS version 29 was utilized for the purpose of analyzing data. Statistical approaches like inferential and descriptive statistics were generated to assess relationships between variables. Interviews gathered qualitative information that was thematically assessed. To maintain the study's integrity, ethical principles, including informed consent and confidentiality, were adhered to. The results showed that Resource Management (r = 0.388, p = 0.001 < 0.05) had a significantly positive association with Performance of Projects. The study concluded that resource management positively affects the performance of projects. Therefore, effective resource management, through proper allocation, sustainable funding, and capacity building, is crucial for maximizing project performance. This study recommends that organizations should increase donor support, improve staff budgeting skills, and diversify funding sources as ways to achieve resource management. Further research might investigate resource management and project performance in other institutional contexts.
