Monitoring and Evaluation Systems and Performance of Government Infrastructure Projects: The Case of the Kitale Multi-Story Business Complex in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya
Abstract: This study examined the influence of monitoring and evaluation systems on the performance of the Kitale Multi-Story Business Complex in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya. The study assessed the effects of human capacity, work plans, policy frameworks, and supportive supervision on project performance. Human capital, systems, and goal-setting theories guided the study. A mixed-methods approach alongside a descriptive research design was applied using semi-structured questionnaires administered to 114 respondents selected from a target population of 180 stakeholders through stratified and simple random sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression, while qualitative responses were analyzed thematically. Findings showed that monitoring and evaluation human capacity and policy frameworks significantly and positively influenced project performance, while work plans and supportive supervision showed positive but statistically insignificant effects. The study concludes that strengthening technical capacity, policy enforcement, and institutional monitoring structures can improve infrastructure project performance. The findings provide practical guidance for public infrastructure management and policy improvement.
