Abstract

A significant challenge facing NGO-funded educational projects in Kenya is the lack of access to quality educational resources and infrastructure. Despite efforts to provide education to needy populations, many schools in the lack basic facilities such as classrooms, textbooks, and teaching materials. This study examined how monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices impact the effective execution of education projects by NGOs operating in Kakuma refugee camp. It aimed to achieve four main objectives related to M&E: assessing the influence of M&E planning, evaluating M&E technical expertise, understanding management participation's role, and exploring stakeholder involvement. Drawing insights from systems management theory, program theory, and stakeholder theory, the research employed a descriptive survey design focusing on nine NGOs under UNHCR supporting education initiatives in Kakuma refugee camp. Both closed and open-ended questionnaires were used, with a pilot study ensuring questionnaire validity. Data analysis involved employing SPSS version 22, with statistical techniques including frequency distribution tables and Cronbach’s alpha for reliability. The study highlighted the crucial role of comprehensive M&E planning, technical expertise, management participation, and stakeholder engagement in project success. While positive perceptions and significant correlations were observed, improvements are necessary, particularly in enhancing community involvement and continuous improvement efforts. It's recommended to prioritize addressing these areas to optimize project outcomes within the camp.
