Role of Monitoring and Evaluation in the Implementation of Community-based Agriculture Projects in Kajiado South Sub-County

This research examined how monitoring and evaluation influence the execution of community?based agricultural projects in Kajiado South Sub?County. Employing a descriptive survey design, data were gathered from nine wards within the sub?county. The investigation was underpinned by the Resource?Based Theory and the Theory of Constraints. A sample of 110 participants was determined using Nassiuma?s sampling technique, and information was collected via structured questionnaires, which were pilot-tested in Kajiado West Sub-County. Analyses were conducted in SPSS 26.0, utilizing both descriptive measures and inferential tests. Findings revealed a statistically significant, positive relationship between monitoring and evaluation practices and project implementation (r = 0.332, p = 0.002). Together, the independent variables explained 57.2% of project implementation (R? = 0.572). Successful outcome from projects requires involvement of women in planning together with decision-making processes according to the study's findings. Research confirmed that funding and physical resources toward these projects had sufficient levels which specifically addressed women's requirements and enabled equal access to necessary implements and infrastructure. The researchers urge support for removing social obstacles while assuring women receive essential financial backing alongside access to property and infrastructure to boost their inclusion in these programs.

Abstract

This research examined how monitoring and evaluation influence the execution of community?based agricultural projects in Kajiado South Sub?County. Employing a descriptive survey design, data were gathered from nine wards within the sub?county. The investigation was underpinned by the Resource?Based Theory and the Theory of Constraints. A sample of 110 participants was determined using Nassiuma?s sampling technique, and information was collected via structured questionnaires, which were pilot-tested in Kajiado West Sub-County. Analyses were conducted in SPSS 26.0, utilizing both descriptive measures and inferential tests. Findings revealed a statistically significant, positive relationship between monitoring and evaluation practices and project implementation (r = 0.332, p = 0.002). Together, the independent variables explained 57.2% of project implementation (R? = 0.572). Successful outcome from projects requires involvement of women in planning together with decision-making processes according to the study's findings. Research confirmed that funding and physical resources toward these projects had sufficient levels which specifically addressed women's requirements and enabled equal access to necessary implements and infrastructure. The researchers urge support for removing social obstacles while assuring women receive essential financial backing alongside access to property and infrastructure to boost their inclusion in these programs.
