The general objective of this Project work was to assess the monitoring and evaluation factors affecting project performance in Addis Ababa Network of People living with HIV Positives Associations (ANOPA+). For the achievement of its objective, the research employed purposive sampling techniques. Questionnaire was used as the major data collection tool. Focus group discussion, observation, key informant interview and review of project records were also used to collect data. The study employed descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze data. The research found out that, the practices of log frame and baseline survey were rated below the average of three. Stakeholder’s involvement in setting indicators, deployment of resources for the M&E, communication of M&E findings and use of the finding for future programming were rated below the average of three impacting project performances. In correlation analysis, it was found out that Log frame, indicators, baseline, M&E plan and data collection and reporting have correlation coefficient of 0.713, 0.588, 0349, 696 and 0.804 respectively. Except baseline survey, all the independent variables have strong relationship on the dependent variable of project performance. In addition, multiple regression analysis revealed that keeping all the other independent variables constant for a unit percentage increase in log frame, indicators, baseline survey, M&E plan and data collection reporting practice have an increase of performance by 30%, 16.7%, 18.4%, 13.4% and 54.4% respectively. The study recommended that, ANOPA+ has to institutionalize log frame approach, baseline survey, setting indictors in participatory manner as to improve project performances. ANOPA+ has to also facilitate trainings, deploy adequate human, financial resources and allocate proper schedule as part of the M&E plan to undertake M&E activities properly.
