With the increase in the number and scale of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kenya, Monitoring and evaluation methods have emerged as vital routines for tracking crucial aspects of NGOs' performance, especially in developing nations. Empirical research has demonstrated that programs with weak or non-specific M&E mechanisms tend to perform poorly on average. Specific objectives explored how planning for M&E, community engagement in M&E process, communication of the M&E findings, and the utilization of M&E findings influenced the success of non-governmental funded projects in the region. The study adopted a descriptive research design using a mixed-method approach to collect information-rich data from the research participants. The target population consisted of the twenty-five projects operated by five active NGOs in Wajir County. To determine the relationship between the research variables, the quantitative data was evaluated using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
