school principals, 32 BOM chairpersons, 165 BOM members, 12 CDFC members, 1 DEO

the questionnaires with the supervisor and colleague students to establish whether the
questions were relevant. Reliability of the instrument was established through test retest
method. Quantitative data was analyzed through descriptive statistics using SPSS
package and presented using percentages and Tables. Qualitative data was analyzed
through content analysis which in turn was analyzed by organizing data into themes. The
findings of the study showed that majority of BOM committee were usually involved in
identification of projects through participation in need assessment, tendering of project,
budget preparation and implementation. Findings also indicated that BOM committee
lacks a developed monitoring and evaluation system for schools though a majority agreed
that adhering to monitoring and evaluation schedule would improve management of CDF
projects in schools. The recommendations of the study are that the CDF committee should
disburse funds in time to schools and also allocate enough funds to facilitate completion
of the intended projects. This would minimize stalled CDF projects in schools. | en_US |
