Abstract: The purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between strategic plan implementation and
organizational performance. The specific objectives were to analyze the extent to which leadership affects the
performance of Hargiesa Water Agency in somaliland, to examine the organizational structures influence the
performance of Hargeisa Water Agency in Somaliland, to investigate the extent to which policy and procedure
affect the performance of Hargeisa Water Agency in Somaliland and to establish the extent to which resource
allocation influences the performance of Hargeisa Water Agency in Somaliland. The study found that there is
significant positive relationship between Policies and Procedures and organization performance. The study
found out that resource allocation plays an insignificant role, yet positive role in determining company
performance, as compared with structure and policies and procedures.
Key words: strategic plan implementation, organizational performance, leadership, organizational structures,
policy and procedure, resource allocation, performance, Hargiesa Water Agency.
I. Background
Implementing your strategic plan is as important, or even more important, than your strategy. The
critical actions move a strategic plan from a document that sits on the shelf to actions that drive business growth.
Sadly, the majority of companies who have strategic plans fail to implement them. According to a Fortune cover
story (1999), nine out of ten organizations fail to implement their strategic plan for many reasons. Approximately
60% of organizations do not link strategy to budgeting, 75% of organizations do not link employee incentives to
strategy, 86% of business owners and managers spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy, 95% of a
typical workforce doesn’t understand their organization’s strategy Implementation of strategy. According Bhasin
(2009), implementation is the process through which a chosen strategy is put into action. It involves the design
and management of systems to achieve the best integration of people, structure, processes and resources in
achieving organizational objectives. A strategic plan provides a business with the roadmap it needs to pursue a
specific strategic direction and set of performance goals, deliver customer value, and be successful. However, this
is just a plan, it doesn’t guarantee that the desired performance is reached any more than having a roadmap
guarantees the traveler arrives at the desired destination.
Hargeisa Water Agency was established in 1974, to operate the newly constructed bulk water supply
which was built by the Chinese. In 1974 the city had an estimated population between 175,000 and 180,000
inhabitants. HWA is an independent water supply utility that is mandated with the supply of water for the city of
Hargeisa. It enjoys fiscal and administrative autonomy.
According to Hussein, (2014). the availability of sufficient water resources in Hargeisa has become
critical. The capital city Hargeisa lies in the North Western part of Somaliland. It is the biggest and one of the
most important in Somaliland. Even though the city was destroyed during the successive civil wars, it recovered
and people are settling down. Construction is taking place and lives of people have turned to normal once again.
The city contains five districts (dagmo): Ahmed dhagax, Ibrahim Kodbur, Mohamoud Haybe, 26 June and
Gacanlibaax. The climate of Hargeisa is hot and dry and it receives rain twice a year. Since Somaliland claimed
its independence back from the South of Somalia in 1991, Somalilanders came back home either from
neighboring or overseas countries where they had lived as refugees. Hargeisa hosts the largest population in the
country. The estimated number of people living in Hargeisa is approximately one million, which means that the
city has doubled its inhabitants in the past ten years. As a consequence, the city has expanded tremendously
towards all directions, and there are many new areas joining the city. As a result of increasing population and
with the combination of inefficiency of the water management in the city, the availability of sufficient water
resources has become critical. The demand for water has increased enormously, and water scarcity has become
acute (Hussein, 2014).

II. Problem Statement
According to Water Service Regulatory Board (WASREB) review report 2011, Hargeisa Water Agency
is far from realizing its set goals and objectives while the strategic plan period is coming to an end. According to
WASREB, a water service provider’s monitor and regulatory agency review report of 2011, Hargeisa Water
Agency is lagging behind in implementation of their set goals.HWA currently supplies approximately 9 million
litters per day. City requires more than 40 million litters per day, using WHO figure of 50% l/p/d. The pumping
stations operate on a 23-hour basis. Currently, HWA has 24,500 household connections and 400 pubic kiosks.
Over the last 3-years, HWA has made considerable progress in terms of cost recovery. The income from water
sales has increased steadily since 2007 despite no increase in the bulk water supply and no tariff increases since
2007. The agency has 95% collection rate.This is not sufficient in meeting the demands of the ever expanding
town population. Hargeisa Water Agency is yet to replace the ageing water lines and new water special lists have
not been hired. Hargeisa Water Agency still depends on government attached special list and it appears that
Hargeisa Water Agency has had serious problem in implementing the strategic plan.
It is not yet understood how the key components of strategic implementation including leadership,
organization structure, resources allocation functional policies and procedures are responsible for unsatisfactory
performance. The study therefore seeks to establish the extent to which leadership, organization structure,
resource allocation, functional policies and procedures have influenced Hargeisa Water Agency’s performance.
III. Objectives of the Study
i. To analyze the extent to which leadership affects the performance of Hargeisa Water Agency in Somaliland
ii. To examine the extent to which organizational structures influence the performance of Hargeisa Water
Agency in Somaliland
iii. To investigate the extent to which policies and procedures affect the performance of Hargeisa Water Agency
in Somaliland
iv. To establish the extent to which resources allocation influences the performance of Hargeisa Water Agency
in Somaliland
IV. Justification of the Study
This study was justified in the view that very few studies of the kind had been conducted to determine
the strategic plan implementation and organizational Performance in Hargeisa Somaliland. Further, this study
was justified because the Hargeisa Water Agency is the governmental institution responsible in the regulation of
water distribution within the entire Somaliland. A good understanding of the strategic plan implementation
enables both the public and the policy makers understand the rationale behind the heavy budgetary allocations
and water bills collected from all homesteads in Hargeisa so that there can be a clear understanding whether there
is a relationship between their strategic plan implementation and organizational performance.
V. Literature review
The study review the fundamental strategic planning models which included;
i. The Great Man’s Theory of Leadership
ii. Contingency Theory of Organizational Structure
iii. Resource Based Theory

VI. Conceptual Framework
Figure 1: Conceptual Framework.
VII. Research Gaps
Charles (2010), in the study of the effect of leadership style on organizational performance as viewed
from human resource management strategy examined the relationships among the leadership style, the
organizational performance and the Human Resource Management strategy. However, he did not examine the
effects of Strategic plan implementation on organizational performance. Charles (2010) did not conduct his
study focusing on the effect of strategic plan implementation on organizational performance. Elenkov (2003)
study investigated concurrently the main effects of the transformational and transactional leadership behaviors
on organizational performance of Russian companies. But he failed to investigate of the main effects of the
transformational and transactional leadership behaviors on strategic plan implementation.
Adebayo (2010)’s study looked at the effect of internal control on organizational performance using a
case study of Eco bank Nigeria Plc: The main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of internal control
on organizational performance, but he did not examine the effects of external control on organizational
performance and also failed to investigate the effects of strategic plan implementation on organizational
performance. Csaszar (2011) developed and tested a model of how organizational structure influences
organizational performance. Organizational structure, conceptualized as the decision-making structure among a
group. But did not develop the test a model of how organizational structure influence organizational plan
implementation.

VIII. Research design
The study used descriptive survey method. This design was therefore adopted for this study as it
enables the researcher to obtain a cross-referencing data, as well as an array of options. The study targeted 160
employees of the Hargeisa Water Agency. The following regression model was used:
Y= β0+β1X1+β2X2+β3X3+β4X4+e
Where;
Y = Performance of workers being affected.
β0 = Is the constant or coefficient of intercept.
X1 = leadership
X2 = organizational structures
X3 = policies and procedures
X4 = resources allocation
β1...β4 =the corresponding coefficients for the respective independent variables.

Adjusted R squared is coefficient of determination which tells us the amount of variation in the dependent
variable due to changes in the independent variable, from the findings in the above table the value of adjusted R
squared was 0.524 an indication that there was variation of 52.4% on HWA performance due to changes in the
independent variables which are leadership, organizational structure, policies and procedures and resource
allocation.
This shows that 52.4% changes in organisational performance could be accounted for by leadership,
organizational structure, policies and procedures and resource allocation at 95% confidence interval. R is the
correlation coefficient which shows the relationship between the study variables. From the findings shown in the
table above there was a strong positive relationship between the study variable as shown by 0.784.

The established regression equation was

Resource allocation.
From the above regression equation it was revealed that holding leadership, organizational structure, policies
and procedures and resource allocation at 95% confidence interval to a constant zero, performance of the HWA
would stand at 5.021. A unit increase in leadership would lead to increase in the organisational performance by
factors of 3.603, unit increase in Organizational structures would lead to increase in organisational performance
by factors of 3.316, unit increase in Policies and procedures would lead to increase in organisational
performance of the HWA by a factor of 4.129, and a further in increase in Resource allocation would lead to
increase in organisational performance of the HWA by a factors of 3.263.

X. Summary, conclusions and recommendations
The findings of the study are that: Leadership was found to play a significant role in determining the
organizational performance. This finding is deduced from the analysis results where it was found that employees
at HWA are motivated, and that they enjoy organizational support. Innovation was also found to be encouraged
and the management shares organizational vision with the employees. Regarding policies and procedures, HWA
was found to have implemented documented sound policies which are clear to the employees and easy to
follow. HWA was also found to have maintained a good working environment. The company was benchmarks
the best practices from other similar organizations to be able to keep on improving. Concerning the resource
allocation objective, HWA was found to locate its resources to all set goals and the company`s resources were
found to audited occasionally. HWA was also found to have engaged well trained human resource.
The study sought to understand how strategic plan implementation affects organizational performance of
Hargeisa Water Agency in Somaliland. Four factors were considered in relation to strategic plan
implementation. These were leadership, structure, policies and procedures and resource allocation. Various
strategic objectives of the strategy implementation process were studied and all of them were found to have
positive effects on performance of HWA. It can therefore be concluded that leadership, organizational structure,
policies and procedures and resource allocation have a positive effect on the performance of HWA.
From the findings of the study, the following recommendations are made: Hargeisa Water Agency need
to initiates a policy of providing opportunities for leadership development for its staff. This will help them to
engage closely and creatively with activities that will improve the strategic performance of the organization.
Hargeisa Water Agency needs to provide strict accountability measures for its staff so that all resource
allocation decisions are thoroughly vetted, and that there is monitoring system for all allocations. This would
also ensure that all resource allocation decisions serve the best interest of the organization.
XI. Suggestion for further research
This study looked at the public sector agency that operates as a government enterprise. A study
comparing strategic implementation of a public agency would seem likely to lead to new insights and therefore
enrich the efforts that have been made in this study.
