The study adopts a descriptive research design. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The study finds that External Scanning and Determination of Goals are the most important com- ponents of human resource planning process that influence performance at IHK. The results nevertheless show that the other components of human re- source planning process such as Internal Scanning, Performance Gap Analysis, Decide Human Resource Priorities, Environmental Scanning and as well as Measuring, Monitoring and Reporting the Progress are correspondingly im- portant components of human resource planning process that influence per- formance at IHK. Therefore, the study recommends that ministry of health should work towards matching human resource planning process with organi- zational strategic goals, and to achieve this, the ministry should clearly define its vision and mission to the staff and partner organizations in a concise manner, How to cite this paper: Ivan, B., Turyaree- ba, D., Wagima, C., Wemesa, R., Ssebbaale, E.
