| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research is to evaluate Oxfam GB's monitoring and evaluation practices as well as the challenges that the process faces there in Ethiopia. To achieve its objectives, the study adopted a descriptive survey research design and used both primary and secondary data. The primary data was gathered through structured questionnaire. SPSS statistical package was used to edit, organize and code the data to analyze and review. Organizational records, academic articles, and books on the subject were used as secondary data. A total of 31 program workers from Oxfam GB's offices in various regions of Ethiopia were chosen as the study's target populations using the census method, and the response rate was 80.6 %. The results were tabulated, and then means, standard deviation, percentages, and frequencies were used to analyze them. The result reveals that Oxfam GB, to some extent, employs the M&E practice, including baseline studies, M&E planning, M&E budgeting, midterm and end evaluations, stakeholder engagement, lesson learned, documentation, and dissemination of M&E findings. However, the findings show that there are challenges on the application of M&E practices, particularly in the areas of stakeholder engagement, M&E budgeting, lesson learnt, and documentation. Overall, the results show that Oxfam GB's M&E practices are quite effective. Therefore, it is recommended that the organization has to allocate sufficient fund for the M&E activities. To ensure ownership of M&E results and that those initiatives are relevant to the needs of the beneficiaries, stakeholders should actively participate in each stage of the M&E process. Additionally, a strong lesson learned approach should be used to avoid project failures from happening again and to build on project successes.
