| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to address the project monitoring and evaluation practices of the Mekdim Ethiopia National Association. The current practice had been assessed in light of the best project M&E practices, as acknowledged in much literature. The study used a qualitative descriptive study by using a census method in applying a semi-structured interview to the primary data and document review to the secondary data. The findings of this study revealed that local non-governmental organizations have not yet adopted a culture of learning and adaptation throughout the project, they have no systematic approaches or standards to evaluate M&E knowledge management in their project, and they have less engagement with stakeholders. The absence of a clear standard for stakeholder roles results in limited feedback and reduced accountability. This study generally demonstrates that local NGOs were ineffective at doing monitoring and evaluation, even if the desired outcomes of their initiatives were clearly outlined. This was primarily because there was no clear and uniform framework for monitoring and assessment. These results suggest that there is an urgent need to strengthen the capabilities of both local NGOs and relevant stakeholders in areas of monitoring and evaluation. The suggested strategy necessitates having a clear knowledge of the significance of M&E, a commitment to M&E for learning, and ensuring beneficiary involvement | |
