Abstract
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; stakeholders’ 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
