| dc.description.abstract | Stakeholder engagement in monitoring and evaluation is crucial in the sustainability of development projects. Experience has shown that donor funded projects in most cases are not sustainable and fail to continue once funds are withdrawn. One reason for this could be the lack of stakeholder participation in the projects. Therefore, to ensure transparency, accountability and ownership through commitment, there must be effective monitoring and evaluation. This study therefore assesses the challenges and prospects of stakeholder management in monitoring and evaluation of borehole projects in Ga South Municipal Assembly, Greater Accra. Based on the aim of this research, cross-sectional study design with quantitative approach was employed. The targeted stakeholders were the main donor (Rotary International), the implementing agency (Community Water and Sanitation Agency – CWSA & Ga South Municipal Assembly- GSMA), and the project beneficiaries (the project committee at the community level and the community). Convenience sampling and purposive sampling methods were used to select respondents for the study. Data was collected using structured questionnaire and subjected to SPSS (version 2.1) for quantitative analysis, the analytical tool used was the mean scores. Results indicated a lot of monitoring and evaluation practices notably training and development (mean = 0.93, S.D = 0.81), open communication (mean 1.13, S.D = 1.12), fair distribution of benefits (mean = 1.24, S.D = 1.00), capacity building (mean = 1.30, S.D = 1.05), and inclusive decision making (mean = 1.37, S.D = 0.93). The challenges faced include lack of experience, inadequate resources, changes in the scope of work, poor communication, and inefficient monitoring and evaluation practices. From the study, the prospects of stakeholder participation in monitoring and evaluation of borehole project were training of stakeholders, building stronger collaborative relationship through continuous engagement and information sharing, clear communication, and capacity building of legitimate stakeholders. Donors, implementing agencies and project implementation committees must ensure that resources for borehole projects are adequate and on time | en_US |
