Abstract

The research assessed the effectiveness of Sector Ministries’ M&E in the execution of development projects and programmes in Tanzania. It assessed the impact of human capacity; contribution of material resources and influence of fund allocation and disbursement on effectiveness of M&E undertakings. A case study design was used with a total of 51 respondents out of sampling frame of 100 population. Purposive and random sampling were used to select the respondents and data were collected using interview and questionnaires. The study used the partial least squares path modeling or partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-PM, PLS-SEM). The Descriptive and inferential data analysis was used to analyze data. The study found that: there were few trained M&E officials; insufficient fund allocation and disbursement, and shortage of material resources for undertaking M&Eactivities for sector ministries. Hence, effectiveness of M&E activities regarding to the implementation of development projects and programmes from the selected ministries was not often attained. Therefore, study requires the sector ministries to have a well set of enough, skilled and experienced staff; enough and prompt supply of material resources that enhance smooth running and performance of M&E activities of the ministry as well as perfectly allocated and well disbursed fund to finance M&E activities in order to attain the effectiveness of M&E undertaking. Keywords:Monitoring, Evaluation, Development Projects, Effective monitoring and evaluation, Fund allocation and disbursement, human capacity, material resources
