| dc.description.abstract | Successful accomplishments of projects have a vital role in attaining organizational goals and objectives. However, this has not been the case in most projects. It is perceived that one of the major factors leading to project success is monitoring and evaluation. The problem on the availability and the functionality of M&E unit, not being participatory, and financial and skilled human resources scarcities and mismanagement problems are the main bottlenecks for the M&E system in organizations. This raises significant questions as to whether the monitoring and evaluation are effective enough to achieve project success. Therefore the main aim of this study was to assess the practice and role of Monitoring and Evaluation for the success of projects in Orbis-Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study used a mix of both quantitative and qualitative research approach (mixed approach). A cross-sectional survey was conducted for the quantitative part and the qualitative study followed descriptive design type. In this study, data were collected from the entire program staff workers of ORBIS-Ethiopia who fulfilled the inclusion criterion: 11 from country office and 19 from the project sites for the qualitative study and the quantitative study respectively. 10 in-depth interview participants participated with a response rate of 91% and 18 participants completed well and that was the response rate of 94.7% respectively. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. Correlation and regression analysis was employed to assess the significance of the association. On the other hand; the collected qualitative data using in-depth interviews were coded, and categorized using open code version 4.02. From the total of 18 respondents, 6 of them agreed and 12 of them strongly agreed on the successful implementation of projects. The weighted average mean score of 4.43 indicated to us that all of the projects implemented in the Orbis were almost successful. According to the findings from the correlation analysis, there was a strong positive correlation between; project success and Indicata (International online M&E processing tool) with a correlation coefficient of 0.812, strength of M&E staffs (r=0.722), availability & proper use of the budget (r=0.643), Log frame (r=0.675), and with conducting field visits (r=0.626). There was also a positive and significant relationship between the project success and a global M&E system tool called Endicata (β = 0.509, t= 3.032, P-value <0.05). There were also a positive but not a significant relationship between; project success and a Log frame tool (β = .086, t= 0.812, P-value =0.433); project success and conducting field visits (β = 0.179, t= 1.829, P-value =0.092); project success and strength of M&E team; (β = 0.204, t= 1.293, P-value =0.221). These depicted that the effectiveness of M&E system played a significant role for the success of projects in Orbis- Ethiopa. Key Words: | en_US |
