Mixed method was employed to this cross sectional descriptive study. Primary data were collected from 35 of 40 war affected public hospitals with structured questionnaire since May to June 2022, and secondary data extracted from electronics health reporting system and document review. Microsoft Excel was used to do descriptive analysis. Regarding to result, the current study findings show that 0.03 hospital, 2.1 inpatient beds and 0.5 physician per 10,000 populations and the project achieved only 60% general service availability. The mean availability of 17 selected specific services was 70% in total affected hospitals. General service readiness index and mean service specific readiness index were 69% and 75% respectively which implies that those hospitals started to offer services were ready to provide general health services with the capacity of 24 hospitals and specific health services with the capacity of 26 hospitals, instead of 35. Regarding to service utilization, outpatient attendance per person per year was 1.26 and achieved only 25% of global benchmark while the inpatient admission rate was 86 per 10,000 populations in war affected community which means clients get access inpatient services only 64% and 8.6% of national average and global standard respectively. Based on the findings of the study the investigator concludes that most of indicators in health service availability, readiness and utilization are below national benchmarks and the overall health service restoration status was 64 percent. The researcher suggests for government to avail power sources; International NGOs to offer humanitarian services in those inaccessible health facilities and communities due to active war; the ministry of health and regional health bureau to facilitate and mobilize fund to avail diagnostic and surgical service equipment, and to develop health professionals recruit and retention mechanism; and researchers for future studies to focus on community based survey, primary health care unit assessment and service-specific utilization.

    (Addis Ababa University, 2022-06) Lakew, Abayneh; Alemu, Dakito (PhD)
    The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of monitoring and evaluation on project success in Ethiopian sugar development projects for the case of Fincha’a Sugar Expansion Project. The study employed descriptive research design and Data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. Survey questionnaires were distributed to 47 respondents and collected from 39 samples of respondents by using multi-stage sampling procedures involving purposive, convenience and simple random sampling techniques. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS version 26. Correlation analysis assessed the relationship between challenges of monitoring and evaluation and project success whereas multiple regression analysis assessed the effects of monitoring and evaluation challenges on project success. The descriptive results indicated that institutionalizing monitoring and evaluation system, linking monitoring and evaluation to objectives, data management of monitoring and evaluation, and stakeholders’ engagement in monitoring and evaluation are the main challenges to effective monitoring and evaluation in Fincha’a Sugar expansion project. The finding also revealed that two predictor variables, namely, linking monitoring and evaluation to objectives, and data management of monitoring and evaluation had a positive statistical significant effect on project success. The role of institutionalizing monitoring and evaluation system, linking monitoring and evaluation to objectives, data management of monitoring and evaluation, and stakeholders’ engagement leaves only 20.9% unexplained. The researcher suggests that there is a need to evaluate other factors that contribute to project success. The p - value of 0.000 (less than 0.05) implies that the model of monitoring and evaluation challenges affecting project success is significant at the 99% confidence level. The researcher also suggests that linking monitoring and evaluation to objectives should be given due recognition for the role it plays in ensuring the success of projects.
