| dc.description.abstract | The Ministry of Lands in Kenya has a crucial role in managing and administering land resources in the country. Its primary mission is to promote secure land tenure, sustainable land use, and efficient land administration. By doing so, the ministry significantly shapes the development of the land sector and ensures fair distribution of land. However, an important challenge faced by the Ministry of Lands in Kenya is the insufficient involvement of stakeholders. Limited engagement of different stakeholders, including communities, non- governmental organizations, and local authorities, can hinder effective decision-making and implementation of land-related policies. This lack of stakeholder involvement often leads to an absence of diverse perspectives and interests, resulting in suboptimal outcomes and potential conflicts. It also undermines trust and transparency in land administration processes, where stakeholders may feel excluded from important discussions and decisions. Many organizations worldwide have addressed this challenge by prioritizing inclusive stakeholder engagement and establishing transparent mechanisms for information sharing, feedback, and communication technology (ICT). This study aimed to investigate the impact of stakeholder involvement on land administration and performance at the Ministry of Lands in Nairobi, Kenya. Specifically, it assessed the effects of information sharing, feedback, and ICT on land administration and performance. The study was guided by stakeholder theory to explore how stakeholder involvement aligns with institutional arrangements and governance structures, while also examining the impact of stakeholder engagement on the ministry's organizational performance. A mixed-methods descriptive research design incorporating quantitative and qualitative approaches was utilized. The quantitative approach involved structured questionnaires and data analysis to measure stakeholder involvement and performance indicators. The target population is estimated to be 642 staff members and officials, and a sample size of 128 was selected using stratified random sampling.
