ABSTRACT
Donor countries are concerned about development practices in the developing countries where
much of the financial and technical investment has been done with little change. One of the
causes the donors identified was under-reporting of project impact on people’s lives. The donors
resolved during the Paris Declaration of 2005 that development organizations should use resultsbased
management approach to implement projects. The purpose of the study was to examine
factors affecting the application of Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation system by Nurture
Africa. The research study used a mixed method to collect data from 40 sampled respondents.
These included surveys, key informative interviews and document review of M&E tools. Out of
38 respondents, most (37%) disagreed that Nurture Africa management provides capacity
building for staff in M&E. There was however a significant number of respondents (31.5%) who
agreed that management provided capacity building for staff in M&E. The majority of the
respondents (52.6%) disagreed and 10.5% strongly disagreed that Nurture Africa management
allocated sufficient funds for M&E activities. The highest percentage (60.5%) of the respondents
interviewed disagreed that Nurture Africa staff possessed M&E skills and experience. Close to
37 (36.8%) of the respondents interviewed, disagreed that Nurture Africa conducted a baseline
for every project, while 26.3% agreed and 21.1% strongly agreed that Nurture Africa always
conducted baseline studies. Only 15.8% percent of the participants were not sure whether
Nurture Africa conducts baseline studies. It was concluded that management support,
organizational capacity as well as utilization of baseline information affected the capacity of
Nurture Africa staff to report project outcomes and impact. The study recommended that Nurture
Africa should invest in capacity building for staff in RBM&E; allocate 5-10% of funds of every
project for M&E; conduct baseline and utilize findings.
