systems of public projects in Nakuru County. The study concentrated on four parameters:
Influence of level of training, budgetary allocation, influence of stakeholder’s involvement
and influence of politics on effective monitoring and evaluation of public projects in Nakuru.
The target population for the study comprised project management heads in charge with
monitoring and evaluating the devolved public projects within Nakuru County. Descriptive

procedure was applied. Primary data was collected using questionnaires while secondary data
entailed use of document analysis. Data was analysed using both qualitative and quantitative

(SPSS) was used to analyse quantitative data where both descriptive and Pearson correlation
was performed. The study established that a slight positive correlation between level of
training and effective monitoring and evaluation existed, r= 0.479, p=0.00<α (0.05).
Budgetary allocation was moderately correlated with effective monitoring and evaluation r=0
.523, p=0.00<α (0.05). There was a slight positive relationship between influence of
stakeholders participation and effective monitoring and evaluation r= 0.471, p=0.000<α
(0.05) and lastly politics and effective monitoring and evaluation was negatively correlated r
= -0.788, p=0.00<α (0.05). The study concluded that levels of training, budgetary allocation,
stakeholders participation and politics all had an influence on M&E. | en_US |
