Guiding objectives of the study include (a) to examine the relevance of stakeholder theory to the execution of the management contract PPP project by Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and Multiplex Uganda limited in Kampala (b) to assess stakeholders’ participation in the execution of management contract PPP project by KCCA and Multiplex limited in Kampala. The study adopted cross-sectional and exploratory study designs. Data was collected using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study covered a population of 1335 stakeholders of Kampala City Council and Multiplex limited. A sample size of 297 respondents for quantitative part of the study and 35 respondents for qualitative part of the study. The sample random sampling and purposive sampling technique were applied. Target group included, operational and administrative Staff of KCCA and Multiplex Uganda Limited, Drivers under Uganda Transport Development Agency (UTRADA) as well as Private Car Users. Study findings revealed that stakeholder theory is very relevant to the execution of management contract PPP projects. Secondly, findings of the review of literature indicated there is a moderate positive relationship between stakeholder participation in the execution of management contract PPP projects and effective street parking in Kampala, (r=0.608 p=0.000 N=290). Further to this, improvements in stakeholder participation in the execution of management contract PPP projects leads to effective street parking in Kampala city in Uganda. The study recommends that KCC must always ensure that Multiplex limited involves all key stakeholders in the execution of the management contract PPP project such as drivers in meetings when discussing about changes being done. The changes need to be made for the betterment of work, as stakeholders of Multiplex need to regularly get feedback after meeting. In addition, stakeholders should always be engaged in identifying priority parking spaces. Keywords— Stakeholder, management, contract, Public, Private, Partnership, Project, Street Parking 1. Introduction In today’s world, much of the urban fabric is subject to ‘conventional’ parking policies whereby parking is regarded as a type of infrastructure with the principal goal of parking policy being to meet demand. Parking arose as a thoughtful problem in Western Europe in the 1950s, in Japan in the mid- 1960s, in Singapore and Hong Kong from early 1970s, while in the Thailand, Republic of Korea, and Malaysia in the late 1970s and 1980s [1]. In Africa, minimal cities have a well-developed authority to deal with urban transport and mobility [2]. The few multimodal transport establishments which exist, in Lagos, Abidjan, Dakar, and Casablanca, for example, have just began making significant impact on the institutionally fragmented and complex environment in which they function [3]. Like most African countries, Kampala city in Uganda is experiencing exponential urban growth and expansion at a very alarming rate.
