Monitoring and Evaluation of Development Projects Public Policies

This study aims to highlight the practice of monitoring and evaluation within the National Project to Support the Development of Cereal and Legume Crops (PNADCC-LG) in order to propose perspectives and recommendations for improving the performance of this M&E system. To this end, the performance of the project's M&E system was assessed using two variables: the level of control over design factors related to monitoring and evaluation, and the consideration of project-related aspects of implementation. We used a quantitative approach for sampling and a qualitative approach for data collection and analysis. The results of the survey conducted on a sample of thirty-six (36) people from a sample frame of forty (40) people allowed us to confirm two hypotheses. After analysing the data, it appears that the main factors explaining the shortcomings of the project's M&E component include the low level of technical expertise and ownership of M&E tools among stakeholders, the lack of motivation among staff and the insufficient budget allocated to M&E.
