The study aimed at exploring possibilities of institutionalization of monitoring and evaluation in the provision of prosecution services in Kenya at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). The ODPP is the national prosecuting authority in Kenya mandated under Article 157 of the Constitution to exercise state prosecuting powers. The objectives of the study were to: investigate the need of institutionalization of M&E in provision of prosecution services in Kenya; explore strategies for institutionalization of M&E in provision of prosecution services in Kenya; to examine challenges of institutionalization of M&E in provision of prosecution services in Kenya and to identify how challenges facing institutionalization of M&E in provision of prosecution services can be addressed. The study was anchored on the institutional theory and theory of change and it adopted the exploratory research design. A total of 136 respondents were sampled out of a target population of 204 prosecution counsel in Nairobi County. Data was collected using interview schedules as well as interview guides for key informant interviews and analyzed using the SPSS, Version 23.0.
