Abstract:
This study sought to establish the effect of risk response planning on completion of women group projects in Katulani Ward, Kitui County. The research adopted a descriptive research design. Primary data for the study was collected using semi-structured questionnaires. The target population was 8 women Self Help Groups namely; Neema self-help group, Muuo self-help group, Mutethya self-help group, Woni self-help group, Wendo self-help group, Usenyo self-help group, Amani self-help group and Mumo self-help group comprising of 583 management staff and beneficiaries. A stratified sample of 30 percent was carried out which generated 175 respondents. Validity and reliability were carried out to test the accuracy and consistency of the research instruments. Quantiative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and presented in terms of tables. Multiple regression analysis was done to establish the effect of risk response planning on project completion. The study found that risk response planning positively and significantly influenced the completion of women group projects in Katulani Ward, Kitui County. The study concluded that risk response planning helps in the development of the procedures and techniques to enhance opportunities and reduce threats to the project’s objectives. They help in reducing the effect or probability of the identified or even the unidentified risks. The study recommended that the women groups in Katulani Ward should assign individuals who will be responsible for each risk and generate a response that can be used for each risk.

INTRODUCTION
In recent years organizations have been characterized by competition, threats and environmental turbulence. The turbulence and competition in an organization are prodded by globalization, demanding customers, technological change and more significant levels of uncertainties which have made the administration of organizations more thought-provoking than formerly (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). Due to these changes, organizations have now shifted their attention to project success by ensuring that the projects are completed according to the set standards. This shift was done to ensure that the organization project is successful and completed. However, many projects still present delays, changes in their scope, failures and some might be cancelled (Kerzner, 2018).
