Abstract

This study investigates the socio-economic factors, institutional dynamics, and stakeholder perceptions impacting Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) activities within inclusive growth projects in Zanzibar, specifically the Boosting Inclusive Growth for Zanzibar (BIGZ) project. Based on qualitative approach and a case study design; this study collected the primary data using FGDs and in-depth interviews, while the secondary ones were collected using document reviews. Through the sample size of 46 participants, the study employed purposive and stratified sampling techniques. The study findings revealed that higher income levels and educational attainment influenced the participation in M&E activities. The study concluded that higher income levels and educational attainment influence active involvement in M & E processes, with participants possessing greater financial resources and better education more likely to engage effectively. The study recommended that there is a need of addressing socio-economic barriers, strengthening leadership, clarifying organizational structures, enhancing resource allocation, promoting transparency, increasing local involvement and providing actionable feedback. The targeted interventions such as financial support and educational programs were recommended to address these disparities for enhancing an equitable participation. Keywords: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), socio-economic factors, stakeholder engagement.
