ABSTRACT: The project management report of the Ministry of Health in Benin showed fairly low-performance rates during the 2016-2018 budget period. This unflattering situation led us to analyze the underlying fundamental factors. Specifically, we wanted to see if the nature of the coordination has an influence on these poor performance results. Thus, based on an econometric estimation, using a logit model, the results showed that project performance is first conditioned by “the time taken to make resources available from the national budget”, then by “the method of selecting the coordination” and finally by “the time taken to process procurement files and disburse funds”. To this end, in order to effectively ensure the performance of projects at the ministerial level, the Ministry must ensure not only the provision of resources, but also compliance with the procedures for recruiting Coordinators, as well as compliance with the procedures for awarding contracts and disbursing funds.
