This study was aimed at establishing the influence of County Government participation in
monitoring and evaluation on infrastructural project’s performance in ECDE projects in Soy Sub-
County, Kenya. The county projects face delay in completion and increased costs. This can be
attributed to lack of participation in monitoring and evaluation. The current study was guided by
the following research objectives: to assess the influence of administration of duties on
performance of infrastructural projects in ECDE County Projects in Soy Sub-County; to establish
the influence of resource controls on performance of infrastructural projects in ECDE County
Projects in Soy Sub-County; to examine the influence of mobilization initiatives on performance
of infrastructural projects in ECDE County Projects in Soy Sub-County; to assess the influence
of information reporting on performance of infrastructural projects in ECDE County Projects in
Soy Sub-County. The theoretical framework of this research was steered by the theory of change
and the realistic evaluation theory. Descriptive survey research design was adopted in this study.
A target population of 215 constituted this study with a sample size of 140 as determined using
Krejcie & Morgan table. The questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument with
descriptive research design employed where the data was analyzed without affecting it in any
way. Quantitative research design was also incorporated and it encompassed the calculation of
percentages, mean, frequencies on variables. Frequency distribution was used to present the
report through summarizing and classifying the data into meaningful form for easy
interpretation. The main findings of the study established were: Administrative duties are
important in monitoring and evaluation process and contribute significantly to performance of
infrastructure projects, and resource controls is important in monitoring and evaluation of
projects and is helpful in enhancing performance. The study further established that mobilization
in projects, and information reporting should be part of monitoring and evaluation because both
contribute to project performance. The study recommends that county government should
embrace social audits, citizen reports and information sharing to be part of monitoring and
evaluation initiatives
