To sought to establish the influence of strategy evaluation and control on performance of HIV and AIDS interventions managed by non-governmental organizations 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 (10 items) = 0.702. 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 evaluation and the performance of HIV interventions, r (50)=0.737, p-value<0.001,CL=95%.The null hypothesis was rejected, we adopted the alternative hypothesis (H1) that there is a significant relationship between strategy evaluation and control and performance of HIV and AIDS interventions managed by non-governmental organizations in Nyanza Region.It was established that evaluating strategic options for consonance (ß=8.391, p=0.001), consistency (ß=2.970, p=0.328), feasibility (ß=3.250,p=0.360), and adaptability (ß=3.299,p=0.185), positively influenced the performance of HIV and AIDS interventions. It was concluded that NGOs managing HIV and AIDS interventions practiced strategy evaluation and control to a large extent. It was also inferred that evaluating strategic options for consonance, consistency, feasibility, and adaptability positively influenced the performance of HIV and AIDS interventions. The study recommended that there is need for NGOs managing HIV and AIDS interventions to review the procedures for evaluating their strategy for consistency to enhance its effectiveness in enhancing the performance of HIV and AIDS interventions. There is also need to scrutinize the process of identifying the corrective action when strategic initiatives are failing or could be improved to have them contribute expressly in enhancing the performance of HIV and AIDS interventions.
