Abstract
Dealing with individuals or groups that might have an impact or be affected by the project's activities, contents, or outcomes has long been acknowledged as an important role in project management. Stakeholder management is seen as an essential aspect of management since it controls stakeholder interests through the integration of the project management process, ensuring effective project results and preventing failures. This study aims to examine the role of Project stakeholder management on project success in the case of EHA. The study was carried out on three of the organization's seven core departments, the Heritage Conservation Directorate, the Development Directorate and the Research Directorate. Census was conducted in which questionnaires were sent out to all the 50 experts in these three directorates in order to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. Out of these, 43 of them were returned, resulting in 86% of response rate. Statistical analysis of the collected data was conducted using SPSS version 27 with which descriptive and inferential statistical outputs were generated. The correlation result shows that there is a positively significant relationship between the study variables and regression analysis was used to determine the degree of association and to determine the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The regression result also shows that project stakeholder identification, communication and engagement have a statistically significant and positive effect on project success. Thus, the researcher strongly recommends making the necessary effort to effectively address project stakeholder management concerns through proper identification, communication and engagement of stakeholders, since it has a substantial impact on the overall project management and success of projects
