Abstract
Ultimately, the success of each project is evaluated by the level at which it attains its goals and
objectives.Essential for this attainment are project leaders with key managerial competencies to
understand, share, and communicate project mandates with others. The purpose in this
descriptive research was to investigate the effects of managerial competencies on project
success. This descriptive research was conducted in Mogadishu, Somalia among 5 humanitarian
based Non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The sample included 115 respondents. A
questionnaire was used to identify the characteristics and ideas. The regression tests
demonstrated that project leaders' managerial competencies had a significant effect on the
success of projects. Project leaders who have been well oriented in terms of managerial
competencies due to their experience at work, will have the opportunity to ascend in the
hierarchy in project management, and thereby be confronted with more challenging and
interesting tasks and endowed with different responsibilities to oversee the success of
humanitarian based projects in their NGOs. The research outcomes are imp011ant for informed
managerial decision making that enables the minimization of project failure.
