ADDIS ABABA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF COMMERCE GRADUATE PROGRAM MA IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT MONITORING AND EVALUATION PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES OF LOCAL NGOs: IMPLEMENTING NON- COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PROJECTS IN ADDIS ABABA

The purpose of this research is to examine monitoring and evaluation experiences and challenges of local NGOs implementing NCDs projects and also to assess policy structures where the organizations operating. This study was conducted on selected associations implementing NCDs projects in Addis Ababa namely: Ethiopian Diabetes Association, Ethiopian Cancer Association and Mathewos Wendu YeEthiopia Cancer Society. The research purposefully takes the whole population of local NGOs and their project staffs implementing major NCDs projects in Addis Ababa for the past five years. Both primary and secondary data are collected to achieve the intended research objectives. Data collected using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Specifically questioners, semi-structured interviews to key informants and document analysis were employed as instruments of data collection. The respondents were all project management staffs of the selected local NGOs. Questionnaires were distributed to three organizations of 15 employees working as a project staffs. Data were analyzed using SPSS and interpreted in percentage, mean and standard deviations. The findings of this study revealed that: awareness projects are the most common thematic area and more than 75% of their projects are donor dependent. The findings also shows that there is an absence of written M&E plan, M&E training and the organizations conduct M&E by involving external parties from government officials but only during summation evaluation. The research findings shows that there is no organized M&E system which enable appropriate and firm input in decision making. Generally in these particular organizations implementing NCDs projects, M&E practices were not done effectively. Lack of fund on NCDs intervention is the number one challenge they face. Policy structures globally as well as locally need a paradigm shift to support NCDs interventions. Internally organizations also need to show a commitment to improve M&E practices through: establishing qualified M&E team, providing M&E training, minimizing donor dependency and building local capacity through IGA, consistent local fundraising activity as well as introducing a very little cost sharing scheme for the services provided are important to reduce the challenges of donor dependency. Key Words: Project Monitoring and evaluation, Non-communicable disease

Introduction Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa due to lifestyle changes related to urbanization and socio-economic, cultural and environmental factors. Strategies to reduce the impact of NCDs on human development are urgently needed but mostly rely on population-wide interventions for prevention. The healthy settings approach is considered crucial in driving health promotion in South Africa and may be applied to health services, including hospitals. In this case study a rural district hospital in the Limpopo Province was transformed into a Health Promoting Hospital (HPH) according to standards developed by WHO-Europe. Research design The project was designed as intervention study using a participatory action research design integrated with the PRECEDE-PROCEED model as framework for program planning, including a comprehensive needs assessment among a stratified random sample of hospital staff (n = 295), patients (n = 212) and their rela...

Close monitoring and evaluation during implementation leads to projects success. This study sought to determine how effectively the HIV/AIDS projects implemented by NGOs in Kenya are monitored and evaluated as laid down by the current National HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Framework found in the Kenya National AIDS Strategic Plan 2009/10-2012/13 (KNASP III). The research considered several factors that affect the effective use of Monitoring and Evaluation by project managers in NGOs with HIV/AIDS projects in Kenya. These include lack of commitment by the project managers, incompetency on the use of the Monitoring and Evaluation systems by project managers, stringent donor requirements and capacity constraints of the NGOs. The data collected was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Measures of central tendency that is the mean, mode, and median were computed and interpreted. The data is presented using frequency distribution tables, pie charts and bar gra...
