Study adopted peoples centered theory and Resource Based View (RBV) Study was
conducted in Dar es Salaam. Study involved the use of descriptive research design
and the use of simple random sampling and purposeful sampling technique was

objective, the findings indicated that there was positive relationship between human
resource and effective implementation of force account projects at significance level
of 0.338. The results based on second objective showed that there was positive
relationship between financial resources and effective implementation of force
account projects at level significance level of 0.051. For the third objective the
results revealed that regulatory framework has significant contribution to effective
implementation of force account projects at significance level of 0.000 and for the
