dc.description.abstractThe success of hydropower projects of Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) can be aligned with the use of construction project management processes, although, the projects have been impacted by issues such as time overrun, cost overrun, poor quality and poor risk management. The aim of this study is to examine the challenges confronting project management practice for the success of hydropower projects in EEP. Research data was obtained by means of using questionnaire and interview. A sample size of sixty-one (61) Ethiopian Electric Power staffs was used for the study. Challenges such as misuse of time, bad management, inability to develop project knowledge and project management methodology, lack of developing integrated project management plan, inadequate project planning, inadequate project schedule management practices and political influence to change project scope and plans were identified as the most challenges confronting the project management processes for the success of hydropower projects of EEP. The study recommended that providing project management competency trainings, strengthening project monitoring and evaluation system, giving focus to the project management challenges, enhancing utilization of project management processes, developing organizational project management system and institutionalizing the project management competence in order to improve the challenges of hydropower projects in EEP.en_US
