(2024), Monitoring and Evaluation vis-a-vis Sustainability of Forest Conservation Projects in Voi Sub-County, Kenya, Tanzania Journal of Community Development 3(2): 34-512773-675Xhttps://www.suaire.sua.ac.tz/handle/123456789/6396Journal articleThis study analysed the influence of monitoring and evaluation on sustainability of forest conservation projects. It assessed the extent to which monitoring and evaluation influences sustainability of forest conservation projects. The study hypothesis was that there was no statistically significant relationship between monitoring and evaluation on one hand and sustainability of forest conservation projects on the other. Monitoring and evaluation is integral in project cycle management and sustainability. The study site was Mbololo and Mwambirwa forest areas in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. The county is located about 360 Kilometres South-East of Nairobi and 200 kilometres North-West of Mombasa. A population of 28984 people distributed in 4,138 households was targeted. Mixed methods were used in data collection and analysis. A sample size of 365 household heads for quantitative data was determined using Yamane formulae. Data was collected using cluster and systematic sampling techniques. Purposive sampling facilitated selection of six respondents interviewed. Descriptive and inferential analysis techniques were used in data analysis. The study discovered that monitoring and evaluation had statistically significant influence on sustainability of forest conservation projects (F (1,351) = 3.930; p < 0.05). The null hypothesis was rejected. It concluded that monitoring and evaluation enhances sustainability of projects. It recommended that all forest conservation projects should prioritize monitoring and evaluation practices for enhanced sustainability.enSustainabilityMonitoring and EvaluationProjectForestCommunityArticle
