Abstract
This project work focuses on the assessment of monitoring and evaluation systems of an ongoing development programs namely Protecting (Promoting) Basic Services-PBS and Enhancing Shared Prosperity through Equitable Services-ESPES. These programs are primarily owned and implemented by the GoE and significantly funded by DPs (bilateral and multilateral) in a coordinated manner. Both of the programs focus on the delivery of basic services such as education, health, agricultural productivity, water and rural roads. The DPs provide one-fourth or one-third of the recurrent budget for the provision of the services. Apart from the basic services, social accountability, financial transparency and civic engagement are also the focus of the programs. The fund from the donors is transferred using intergovernmental fiscal transfer from MoFEC all the way through WoFECs or KoFECs as part the decentralized system of service delivery. The theme of this work is to look at the M&E systems put in place to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the jointly funded program. The paper has five chapters, and the first one includes the background, problem statement, objectives, justifications and the methodology used. The second chapter is all about the concepts of monitoring, and evaluation, program, development programs, models of and approaches to evaluation, program evaluation, processes of program evaluation and models of program evaluation. The third chapter is about aid, development aid or assistance from global to the national context as discussed briefly. The fourth chapter is focused on discussing about the programs in general and the M&E systems in particular, based on the data collected from key informants and the relevant documents . It is more of a qualitative explanation of the existing M&E systems, tools and mechanisms as witnessed from the DPs, GoE and their joint efforts. The final chapter has the conclusion and recommendation parts.
