Monitoring and Evaluation planning and its influence on performance of Agricultural projects in Makueni County, Kenya

Project Management

ABSTRACT Projects are crucial vehicles used by policy makers and donors in development across the globe. In the last few years, government and donors have established Agricultural Programs in a bid to address food security issues. Unfortunately, the performance of these projects has been wanting; it is normal for projects to be finished late and overspending plan by up to 50 percent-100 percent while others don’t meet the targets, this is despite some of them having monitoring and evaluation practices in place. In light of this the present paper aimed at assessing the influence of M & E planning on performance of Agricultural projects in Makueni County, Kenya. The study found that adequate budget for M & E improved project performance and having M & E work plans and frameworks that guides the M & E work has an influence on project performance.
