The study sought to examine the effect of stakeholder human resource management on the performance of the antiretroviral supply chain project by the national AIDS and sexually transmitted infections control program in antiretroviral therapy health facilities in Kenya. The study was guided by stakeholder theory and performance theory. Both descriptive and explanatory research designs were employed. The study target population comprised 541 pharmacists and pharmaceutical technologists across Kenya. A sample size of 229 pharmacists and pharmaceutical technologists was used. Stratified proportional sampling was applied. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentages, means, and standard deviations. Inferential statistics, including correlation and regression, were used to test the relationship between the variables. Results revealed that stakeholder human resource management had a positive and significant effect on project performance. The study concluded that pharmacy stakeholders’ human resource management had a significant effect on the performance of the antiretroviral supply chain project by the national aids and sexually transmitted infections control program in antiretroviral therapy health facilities in Kenya. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the national AIDS and sexually transmitted infections control program management should strengthen human resource management in the pharmacies at the antiretroviral therapy sites it supports nationwide.
