Succession planning in the recent past has received more attention not only as a concern for the management of human resources, but also as institutional strategic management component for ensuring performance and growth. The purpose of this study therefore was to establish the succession planning practices on performance of non-governmental organizations in Kenya. The study was motivated by recent collapse in non-governmental organizations in Kenya owing to leadership wrangles after the exit of key officials. A correlational research design was adopted for the study. The data was obtained from the council of NGOs in Kenya. The target population consisted of ten local non-governmental organizations located within Nairobi County. The unit of analysis was the employees working with these Non-governmental organizations. A sample of employees was drawn from the population. The study used purposive and stratified sampling to sample ten non-governmental organizations from which simple random sampling was used to get the sample size. The main instrument for collecting primary data was a questionnaire. Each participating organization filled 10 questionnaires. The statistical analysis included; descriptive statistics and inferential statistics to determine the strength of a relationship between variables to establish the strength of association between dependent and independent variables.
