    Project monitoring and evaluation approaches when implemented are the watch dog of success of projects. Most monitoring systems are not meeting their obligatory requirements as decision making tools. Instead, their activities have been viewed as controlled by a bureaucratic management. In other cases, project monitoring and evaluation has been viewed as a donor and not necessarily a management requirement in the enhancement of program success. This study sought to determine the effect of monitoring and evaluation approaches on implementation of projects in Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Nairobi Region, Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were; to determine the effect of participatory approaches, to identify the effect of evaluation approaches, to establish the effect of survey approach and to determine the effect of performance indicators approach on implementation of projects in Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Nairobi region, Kenya. The study was guided by three theories, namely; stakeholdersā€™ theory, utility theory and theory of change. The study adopted descriptive research design. The study targeted projects implemented by PCEA in Nairobi Region, Kenya between 2017 -2021. Purposive sampling approach was used to in reaching the targeted respondents. The study relied on primary data collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. All independent variables of participatory approaches, evaluation approaches, survey approaches and performance indicators approaches were found to have a positive statistically significant effect on project implementation. The study concluded that having sufficient monitoring and evaluation approaches policies enhances the quality of project implementation. The study recommended that the PCEA church n Nairobi Region, together with all other M&E practitioners should ensure sufficient monitoring and evaluation approaches are utilized, for a successful project implementation.
