The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of project planning practices on project performance in Rwanda. Specifically the study determined the effect of budgeting plan on performance of Improve capacity for supply of quality in reproductive health services project in Nyamasheke District, examine the effect of communication plan on performance of Improve capacity for supply of quality in reproductive health services project in Nyamasheke District and investigate the effect of risk management plan on performance of Improve capacity for supply of quality in reproductive health services project in Nyamasheke District. This research adopted both qualitative and quantitative research design. In this study target population composed of 87 of Improve Capacity for supply of quality in reproductive health services project, SFH managerial staff, Health Centre representatives, District Health and Environmental nit Staff. The study applied the following tools of data collection; questionnaires, interview especially for the beneficiaries and documentation used to collect secondary data. Data analysis done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results demonstrate statistically significant positive correlations between different planning practices and project performance. The model Summary presented provides an overview of the regression analysis conducted on risk management plan, budget plan, communication plan and performance of Improve Capacity for Supply of Quality in Reproductive Health Services Project in Nyamasheke District. The R-value of 0.916 indicates a moderately strong correlation between the predictors and the dependent variable. The R Square value of 0.839 indicates that approximately 83.9% of the variance in the project performance can be explained by the predictors in the model. This analysis reveals that the budget plan (β=0.467, p=0.000<0.05), communication plan (β=0.361, p=0.004<0.05), risk management plan (β=0.189, p=0.003<0.05) are statistically significant in enhancing the performance of the Improve Capacity for Supply of Quality in Reproductive Health Services Project. Project teams should consistently monitor identified risks, promptly address emerging issues, and implement the predefined mitigation measures to minimize negative impacts on project performance.
