The general objective of the study was to examine the influence of stakeholders’ participation on performance of public projects of road construction projects in Nyarugenge district; while the specific objectives were the followings: (1) To assess the influence of stakeholders involvement in project initiation on the performance of road construction project in Kigali City, Nyarugenge district, (2) To establish the influence of stakeholders involvement in project planning on the performance of road construction project in Kigali City, Nyarugenge district, (3) To establish the influence of stakeholders involvement in project implementation on the performance of road construction project in Kigali City, Nyarugenge district, and (4) To establish the influence of stakeholders involvement in project monitoring and evaluation on the performance of road construction project in Kigali City, Nyarugenge district. A descriptive and correlational research design has been adopted. Questionnaires, interview and documentation have be used as techniques of collecting data whereby the 100 respondents have been given questionnaires, the director of projects in MININFRA, director of projects in Kigali city, and director of projects in RTDA have been interviewed. The study hypotheses have been accepted due to the values of coefficient of correlation (r) and value of probability (P-Value). The findings indicated that the stakeholders’ involvement in project initiation, planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation significantly influences road construction projects’ performance in Nyarugenge district. The study recommended the government of Rwanda to improve stakeholders’ involvement in project management plan, procurement management, creation of tracking systems, budgeting planning process, quality assurance plan, feedback provisions, activities control, correction of errors, as the study revealed that these areas are still weak. After revealing this positive influence of stakeholders’ involvement in projects performance, we suggested other researchers to conduct a study on the factors that hinder stakeholders’ involvement in projects life.
