    Monitoring And Evaluation Of Projects Is Usually One Of The Key Main Process Of Project Management And An Important Components Of Good Project Performance. The Main Objective Of This Study Is To Assesses Monitoring And Evaluation Practices Of Federal Road Projects: The Case Of Ethiopian Road Authority. Descriputive Survey Design Used And A Sample Size Of 45 Respondents Was Selected Using Amix Of Stratified And Purposive Sampling Both Primary And Secondary Data Were Used Through Questionnaire,Interview And Document Review.

Managerial Ineffectiveness Or Insufficient Implementation,Inaccuracy In Data. Collection And Lack Of M&E Expertise Are The Main Challenges Facing Proper Implemenetaion Of M&E Indicating Lack Of The Necessary Leadership And Technical M&E Expertise In ERA. Finally,This Study Recommends That It Is Important To Choose Among The Techniques That Best Fits Into ERA’s Context And Then Standardize And Apply It. Strengthen Feedback From M&E Into Practice Through Rapid Action Plans,With Systematic And More Effective Project Monitoring Practices And Systems Is Crucial.It Is Also Vital To Expand Use Of Innovative And Technology Guided Approaches To M&E To Increase Project Performace .Continuous Programs To Build The Capacity Of Both Managers And Expertise In Project Management With Emphasis On M&E Activities Helps To Overcome Some Of The Main M&E Challenges
