Abstract
Monitoring and Controlling is an important function that enables organisations to
track the progress of their programmes and/or projects and alerts them to take
possible corrective action. For the Monitoring & controlling function to meet the
intended objective/s, it requires an institutionalised effective and efficient
monitoring and controlling system. The monitoring and controlling system should
give real-time information to the stakeholders about the progress of the programmes
and/or the projects for decision making. The system also enables the organisation to
bring transparency and accountability for the resource sacrificed to implement the
programmes and/or projects. This paper tries to assess the conditionality’s that must
be fulfilled for the monitoring and controlling function to bring the required benefits to
the Africa Union Commission. It is against this background that, in this paper the
weaknesses of the monitoring and controlling function in the African Union
Commission identified to come up with the concrete recommendations. Best
practices in the monitoring and controlling function from six dimensions were taken
into consideration to compare it with the existing system and identify the weaknesses
of the system in the commission. Recommendations are provided both from the
monitoring & controlling general framework and from the process perspective.
