Abstract
The aim of the study was to establish the effect of effective contract management practice on
operational performance of state corporations in Uganda using the Uganda National Roads

which the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) practices effective contract
management; to identify the challenges that hinder effective contract management practice in
state corporations in Uganda; and to identify the level of operational performance in UNRA.
The study used a descriptive, cross-sectional survey research design, with a target population
of all the 45 respondents. It also employed a simple random sampling method with a sample
size of 40 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaires, analyzed using SPSS and
