PROJECT TITLE
INFLUENCE OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION PRACTICES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF POLICE HOUSING PROJECTS IN NAIROBI COUNTY,KENYA
PROJECT ABSTRACT
The identification of factors necessary for successful implementation of projects is of great importance to many organizations. In Kenya like other countries, construction industry is one major industry contributing significantly to socio-economic development. The overall goal of this study was to examine the influence of monitoring and evaluation practices on performance of police housing projects in Kenya. The specific objectives were; to establish the influence of stakeholder participation, capacity building, planning process and resource allocation on performance of police housing projects in the National Police Service Kenya. The study adopted resource-dependence theory and normalization process theory. Descriptive design facilitated the collection of the necessary information. The target population for this study was three police stations from Njiru and central Sub County. The target population was 230 people and a sample size of 146 respondents. A pilot-test was conducted from Kasarani police station where ten (10) questionnaires were randomly distributed. Questionnaires were chosen as the method of collecting data for it was easier to administer and analyse the data collected.
Secondary data was also obtained from various institutions. The data was coded and entered for analysis using SPSS. Pearson correlation analysis was used to relate the various study variables. The results were presented using tables. Majority of the respondents were male represented by 58.90%. Most respondents (69%) indicated that stakeholder engagement, capacity building, planning process and resource allocation highly affects the performance of police housing projects. The study recommends that there should be established an independent monitoring and evaluation department that identifies, analyses, monitors and controls housing projects. Stakeholders should be educated on the aspects of project management. Further, planning skills should be employed in all phases of the project cycle in the housing projects. Finally, enough resources should be allocated to the police housing projects in order to enhance their performance and completion.
