| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research is to examine monitoring and evaluation experiences and challenges of local NGOs implementing NCDs projects and also to assess policy structures where the organizations operating. This study was conducted on selected associations implementing NCDs projects in Addis Ababa namely: Ethiopian Diabetes Association, Ethiopian Cancer Association and Mathewos Wendu YeEthiopia Cancer Society. The research purposefully takes the whole population of local NGOs and their project staffs implementing major NCDs projects in Addis Ababa for the past five years. Both primary and secondary data are collected to achieve the intended research objectives. Data collected using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Specifically questioners, semi-structured interviews to key informants and document analysis were employed as instruments of data collection. The respondents were all project management staffs of the selected local NGOs. Questionnaires were distributed to three organizations of 15 employees working as a project staffs. Data were analyzed using SPSS and interpreted in percentage, mean and standard deviations. The findings of this study revealed that: awareness projects are the most common thematic area and more than 75% of their projects are donor dependent. The findings also shows that there is an absence of written M&E plan, M&E training and the organizations conduct M&E by involving external parties from government officials but only during summation evaluation. The research findings shows that there is no organized M&E system which enable appropriate and firm input in decision making. Generally in these particular organizations implementing NCDs projects, M&E practices were not done effectively. Lack of fund on NCDs intervention is the number one challenge they face. Policy structures globally as well as locally need a paradigm shift to support NCDs interventions. Internally organizations also need to show a commitment to improve M&E practices through: establishing qualified M&E team, providing M&E training, minimizing donor dependency and building local capacity through IGA, consistent local fundraising activity as well as introducing a very little cost sharing scheme for the services provided are important to reduce the challenges of donor dependency. | en_US |
