This study explores the effect of stakeholder engagement on project success at Trident Foundation Limited (TFL) in Kalumbila, Zambia. Trident Foundation Limited, which implements community development initiatives, relies heavily on stakeholder involvement for project sustainability and impact. Findings from the research reveal that stakeholder participation enhances project planning, transparency, sustainability, and community trust. However, issues such as conflicting expectations and low awareness levels affect the quality of engagement. The study recommends regular consultations, improved communication, capacity building, and strategic stakeholder mapping as tools to improve project outcomes.
