There is no in house established Monitoring and evaluation System and plan in the hydro power projects offices and all other renewable projects in EEP. The enterprise doesn’t implement RBM and faces bureaucratic, political and technical challenges to implement M & E. But EEP Project offices prepare project plan based on an excel work sheet provided by the Government office nationwide and will be delivered to all stake holders (MOFED, PM office) and will be approved before the beginning of the fiscal year. M & E system implemented in EEP as usual based on government reporting system. EEP obtain finances from financers and allocates a huge amount of financial resources annually to undertake mega projects in different parts of the region.
