AN ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT PROJECT EXECUTION IN THE WAKE OF COVID-19 IN THE BUEA METROPOLIS
Abstract
Public investment projects have always been seen not only as a vital source of economic development, but also as a basis for national independence, national unity and a sense of common purpose within the country concerned. This research attempts to access the execution of public investment projects in the wake of COVID-19, in the Fako Division of Cameroon. The execution of public investment projects is usually achieved in a stable socio-economic and political environment.
However, COVID-19 has put its cold grips on almost all sectors of the global economy. The allocation of Public Investment budget in Cameroon for the financial year 2020 was reduced by 248 billion attributable to the pandemic.
The main objective of this study is to access the impact of COVID-19 on the execution of public investment projects in the Fako Division of Cameroon. The specific objectives involve; the effects of COVID-19 on stakeholders’ engagement in the execution of public investment projects, the impact of COVID-19 on the procurement of resources in the execution of public investment projects and the effects of COVID-19 on monitoring progress and controlling change in the execution of public investment projects in the Fako Division of Cameroon.
This study employed both the quantitative and qualitative research approaches, adopted a cross sectional study design, and analysis was done based on descriptive statistics. A sample of 100 respondents consists of 90 employees, and 10 contractors participated in the survey. The methods used for collecting data was a semi-structured questionnaire and an interview guide for contractors which produced the required results for data manipulation and graphs layout. The research study findings have shown that COVID-19 brought forth challenges in the area of Stakeholders engagement in funding, in the bidding/selection process and monitoring and control.
