ABSTRACT: This paper examined the influence of monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
methods on the performance of the Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) in Eastern
Uganda. The study found that there is a significant relationship between
M&E methods and the performance of URCS, with effective M&E methods
leading to improved performance. The study also found that human resource
capacity and M&E systems are important factors that influence the
performance of URCS. The paper used a mixed-methods approach to collect data,
including surveys, interviews, and focus groups. The paper found that URCS uses a variety of M&E methods, including
logical frameworks, monitoring and evaluation
plans, costed workplans, and indicator manuals. The paper also
found that URCS has adequate human resource capacity for M&E,
with staff members who are skilled and
knowledgeable in M&E. Finally, the study found that URCS has an
improved M&E system, with clear policies, procedures and a monitoring and
evaluation champion. The findings suggest that URCS can improve its performance
by further strengthening its M&E system. This includes ensuring that
M&E is integrated into all aspects of the organization’s work, that staff
members are adequately trained in M&E, and that M&E data is used to
inform decision-making.
