In order to meet the objectives of the study, descriptive survey method was employed. 86 respondents were selected for the study by Simple random and purposive sampling technique. Questionnaire containing open and close-ended items constructed in terms of Likert scale were employed in the process of data gathering. The data obtained through the questionnaires were analyzed using frequency, percentages, mean and SD. The information obtained through closed and open-ended questionnaires were organized and analyzed to give meaning for the study by SPSS version 20. Findings from the data analysis revealed that delayed payment to contractors, poor subcontracting, and inconsistent task reviews, poor relations between engineer and contractor, inadequate work inspection ability to anticipate short-term disruptions were constraints related to project management of ULGDP II, differences in reporting formats and timeframes and payment documentation and approval procedures were the major challenges of ULGDP II project implementation of the ministry. The study also concludes that without addressing the multivariate challenges identified by the study it is too difficult to attain the objective set by ULGDPII. The study recommends that. MUDHo, Urban Revenue Enhancement Fund Mobilization and Finance Bureau, regional municipality should develop the human resources, ensure progressive and continuous project planning, designing effective communication channel, provide appropriate timely and constructive feedback, ensuring smooth relationship with all concerned bodies, conducting proper and legal procurements and avoid delay of fund disbursement at all level so that project implementation become effectiveness and efficient.
