Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to examine the factors influencing the adoption of monitoring and evaluation system among NGOs in Murang'a County, Kenya. Descriptive survey design was used to carry out this study. The study used a sample of 100 respondents. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire. A pilot study was conducted to find the reliability of the instruments, where a Cronbach alpha of 0.78 was obtained, thus the tool was considered reliable as the alpha value exceeded the threshold of 0.7. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics in form of means and frequency and percentages. Inferential statistics was also used in the data analysis. The study concludes that most NGOs disregarded the tenets of having a monitoring and evaluation framework in place. The study recommends that for a successful adoption of M&E, skilled people should be hired and regular training to be conducted, NGOs to be flexible in order to incur low costs in operations and to fully involve all the stakeholders. The study findings are expected to help in areas of project management, monitoring and evaluation of community based projects implemented by NGOs.
