The research discussed the risks management process and public implementation of environmental project. The specific objectives of this study were to identify the extent to which monitoring and control process can influence public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda, to assess the role of community involvement to ensure effective public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda and to establish the relationship between project risk management process and public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda. The study employed a stratified cross-sectional correctional research design to observe the Landscape Restoration Project at Amayaga Region. The target population of 102 included various staff members, and a sample of 81 was randomly selected from different departments. Questionnaires and documentation were utilized for data collection, and SPSS version 21 aided in data analysis, generating frequency tables and percentages. Findings showed that project monitoring and control, project risk evaluation, project knowledge and communication to a constant zero, public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda would be at 0.463. In addition, any unit increase on project monitoring and control would increase public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda by a factor of 0.174. Any unit increase in project risk evaluation would increase public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda by a factor of 0.192. Lastly any unit in project knowledge and communication would increase in public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda by a factor of 0.167.The study concluded that project monitoring and control has a positive and significant effect on public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda. It was evidenced by regression results that revealed that project monitoring and control contributed to a significant increase in public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda. Project monitoring and control through effective transparency and accountability on project finance and increasing of risk awareness, competent project teams, cost variance assessment, instituting effective budgeting, effective supply chain management and effective project team management contribute to improving public implementation of environmental projects in Rwanda.
