Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between project resource management practices and project performance in Rwanda, a case of advancing citizens engagement prepared and funded by Spark Microgrants in Musanze sector. Effective resource management is a critical determinant of project success in development initiatives. In Musanze District, Rwanda, the Advancing Citizens Engagement Project, funded by Spark Microgrants, aims to promote citizen engagement in community development. However, the extent to which resource management practices impact project performance remains underexplored. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and correlation analyses to assess the relationship between resource management practices and project performance. The analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between resource management practices and project performance. Resource planning, including documentation and scope assessment, showed a significant impact on project success. Efficient resource allocation practices, based on skills and availability, contributed to cost control and efficiency. Implementing robust resource utilization monitoring mechanisms to avoid overallocation or underutilization. Investing in training and capacity-building for project team members to enhance performance. Key words: resource, resource planning, resource utilization, project performance, resource management
