Abstract: Projects of organization mostly failed to attain their objectives because of inadequate and weak monitoring and evaluation (M & E) practices. Conducting project M & E requires well qualified staff with sound knowledge and expertise in the area. Besides, this organization needs to have good infrastructure for conducting it, as project M & E is so critical to the success of the project. There are many reasons why a project fails and understanding them will give us insights on how to avoid future failure. The following research questions were raised and addressed in this paper. How effectively has been the M & E process done on RH/FP projects implemented by CORHA-based NAGOS? What are the challenges they have faced in M & E of their projects? How organizations are collecting, organizing, analyzing and interpreting data generating from the projects? What are the major factors that affect M & E of the project? In line with this, the study used both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Primary data were also collected through interviews using interview guide/protocol and structured questionnaires from selected CORHA member NGOS as well as from CORHA. From data analysis, summary of findings conclusion and recommendation were made. Findings suggest that there exist problems related to lack of expertise, in adequate management information system (MIS) and lack of baseline data. Based on these findings, solutions were recommended to concerned stakeholders.
