    The Effect of Monitoring and Evaluation Practices on the Performance of Humanitarian Projects: The Case of Selected Local Humanitarian Non-Governmental Organizations in Ethiopia
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-09) Wondwossen Shiferaw; Adane Atara (PhD)
    The research aimed to explore the impact of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices on the performance of humanitarian projects undertaken by selected local NGOs in Ethiopia. The study examined eighteen projects funded by USAID and implemented by nine NGOs, evaluating various aspects of M&E practices such as staff skills, analysis and reporting procedures, M&E plan development, budget allocation, and stakeholder engagement. Project performance was assessed based on OECD criteria tailored for humanitarian projects, focusing on coverage, coherence, coordination, and connectedness. Additionally, the study explored the mediating role of management support in influencing M&E practices and project performance. Employing a descriptive and explanatory research design with a quantitative approach, data was collected from a sample of nine local NGOs and 150 respondents involved in the project, M&E, and management roles. The study revealed a positive correlation between M&E practices, management support, and project performance, underscoring the significance of effective M&E practices in driving project outcomes. Management support was identified as a partial mediator between M&E practices and project performance, emphasizing the pivotal role of leadership in maximizing the impact of M&E initiatives. Recommendations were put forth to strengthen stakeholder engagement, enhance M&E team capabilities, improve analysis and reporting procedures, promote transparency in budget management, and prioritize management support to enhance project performance in humanitarian endeavors. By addressing these areas, local NGOs in Ethiopia can enhance their M&E practices, foster sustainable project outcomes, and make a more substantial contribution to the success of humanitarian initiatives in the country.
