Qualitative and quantitative data were collected through use of questionnaires and interview. Pretest was conducted through a pilot study which aimed to examine whether the distinctions of the group of items really reflected the objective of the study; identify internal consistency of the questions and determine the understanding of the respondents to the questionnaire. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis while quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive analysis and application of Statistical Procedures for social sciences (SPSS) version 29. The findings of the study highlighted that M&E system plays a critical role in ensuring success of development projects implemented by CARE Kenya.
