To achieve this objective, the researcher adopted descriptive type of research, by examining the primary data, with random sampling technique using Taro Yamane formula. 106 questionnaires were distributed to SCI projects staff which has direct involvement in project execution. All questionnaires were collected, the results recorded, transcribed and entered into the quantitative research software, SPSS version20. The responses were expressed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentages, mean and standard deviation. Structured interview was made and the secondary data that are already available such as donor, financial, audit report were reviewed. The research findings indicate that, the democratic-participative leadership style adopted in the organization has a challenge on staff turnover, high overhead cost, lack of motivational incentive, inconsistent spending of projects budget, lack of preparation time in the donor contract, and the changing environment .In order to improve the performance of the organization in the implementation of emergency projects, it is recommended that, preparation has to be made before signing project agreement, deliberate actions should be taken to decrease overhead costs and new strategies should be designed to increase staff’s motivation and to retain senior program staffs for the implementation of emergency projects.
