Abstract

This study examined the role of M&E Practices in Project Performance in Sustainability of Publicly Funded Projects in Tanzania by using Njombe Town Council. Specifically, the study probed the way through which education stakeholders are involved in the M&E of EP4R projects, advantages of education stakeholders’ participation in M&E of EP4R projects and assessed the challenges encountered in the M&E of EP4R projects in Njombe Town Council. The method used to analyze data were Primary data collected from repliers by means of questionnaires and interview and Secondary data were attained through documentary review. An aggregate of 131 repliers were involved. The result shows that found that education stakeholders participate in M&E of EP4R projects both financially and materially depending on their economic status, knowledge, skills and experiences in the respective projects. The study concludes that community participation in all podiums of the project cycle reduces project costs, creates a sense of ownership within the community and enhances sustainability of the projects. Likewise monitoring and evaluation of EP4R projects in Njombe Town Council affected by fiscal, political, specialized and directorial factors; and is regarded as a donator driven exertion by the maturity of the community as it's done through donator- driven initiatives. Therefore the study recommends that community members should be part and parcel of EP4R projects in all aspects of the project cycle; thereby achieving power and sustainability of similar systems.
