This study sought to assess the influence of strategy implementation on performance of HIV and AIDS interventions managed by non-governmental organisations in Nyanza Region.This study used a positivist and interpretive paradigms adopting an ex post facto research survey design. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The target population for the study was 18 the departmental heads of program management, 18 monitoring and 18 evaluation and program implementation in NGOs registered by the NGO council as implementing HIV and AIDS interventions as a major focus and operating within Nyanza Region. The study also targeted the directors of the three governing bodies for HIV programming. The population was thus 60 respondents. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to pick the respondents. The research used two instruments: questionnaires, Interviews schedules. Content validity was measured by using the Content Valid Index (CVI). The researcher used Cronbach's Alpha reliability to measure the internal consistency of the questionnaires, r (11 items)= 0.749. Data analysis was done through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation, hypothesis testing and multiple linear regression modeling. It was established that there was a significant strong positive relationship between strategy implementation and the performance of HIV interventions r (50)=0.792, p-value<0.001,CL=95%.The elements of strategy implementation that contributed most to performance of HIV and AIDS interventions were strategy adaptation (ß=8.829,p<0.001), strategy coordination (ß=7.707,p<0.001) and strategy communication (ß=6.007, p<0.001). Strategy translation made the least positive contribution to performance of HIV and AIDS interventions (ß=0.234,p=0.877). Strategy execution (ß=-4.328,p=0.047) was ineffective in enhancing performance of HIV and AIDS interventions. The NGOs managing HIV and AIDS interventions need to enhance strategy translation so as to make it clear what the short-term, as well as long-term goals are, this will enhance performance of interventions. There is also need to improve on strategy communication to ensure that every employee in the organisation understands the direction in which the organisation is intended to move. More emphasis need to be put on the execution of strategies since it was found to impact negatively on performance of HIV and AIDS interventions.
