Managerial Ineffectiveness Or Insufficient Implementation,Inaccuracy In Data. Collection And Lack Of M&E Expertise Are The Main Challenges Facing Proper Implemenetaion Of M&E Indicating Lack Of The Necessary Leadership And Technical M&E Expertise In ERA. Finally,This Study Recommends That It Is Important To Choose Among The Techniques That Best Fits Into ERA’s Context And Then Standardize And Apply It. Strengthen Feedback From M&E Into Practice Through Rapid Action Plans,With Systematic And More Effective Project Monitoring Practices And Systems Is Crucial.It Is Also Vital To Expand Use Of Innovative And Technology Guided Approaches To M&E To Increase Project Performace .Continuous Programs To Build The Capacity Of Both Managers And Expertise In Project Management With Emphasis On M&E Activities Helps To Overcome Some Of The Main M&E Challenges
