ABSTRACT
The research centered on “Monitoring and Evaluation as Tools for
Achieving Success in the Performance of Government Intervention
Projects” (A Regional Survey). The study is empirical in nature and
involves the use of both primary and secondary data for the
development of the study. The major problems associated with the
study include: project abandonment, which results to poor economic
growth rate. Low income per capital etc. Some of the Objectives of the
study include: identification of the importance of monitoring and
evaluation and establishment of the consequences of poor monitoring
of government intervention projects. Chi-square, percentages and
tables were used in the analysis of the data collected for the study.
The researcher explained the importance of monitoring and
evaluation as a way of achieving success in the performance of
government intervention projects. The researcher also discussed the
effects of poor monitoring and evaluation and how they can result to
project abandonment. Some suggestions were made as solution to
poor monitoring and evaluation of government intervention projects
which include sticking to project timetable and proper costing of the
project. Some findings were made based on the analysis of the data
collected. The researcher recommended that project planners should
carry out adequate monitoring and evaluation in executing any
government intervention projects. Other recommendations include:
appointment of a well experienced and highly skilled independent
