Several government funded projects in tertiary institutions have stalled; others have been completed but not in line with the intended specifications while others exceed the stipulated completion periods. A project which is unsuccessful exceeds its schedule and budget whether it is eventually completed or not. Public institutions are generally afraid of project failure because they make big investments to the project in terms of money, time and manpower. This study sought to determine the factors affecting implementation of public projects funded by the National Government in Technical Training Institutions in Garissa County, Kenya. The objectives of the study were; to determine the influence of government funding on project implementation; to establish the influence of security on project implementation; to find out the influence of monitoring and evaluation in Government funded projects, and to determine the influence of stakeholders
