Abstract
Monitoring systems allow for project activities to be measured and analyzed. Unfortunately, there is often a gap in the design of monitoring systems; generation of information during the process of Monitoring and use of this information in future designs. The purpose of this study is to establish the impact of Monitoring of Project Management of Biyoole project in Hargeisa Somalia. The study was guided by the following research objectives: To determine the effect of structure of monitoring on the management of Biyoole project in Hargeisa Somalia, to assess the effect of human resource capacity on the management of Biyoole project in Hargeisa Somalia and to examine the effect of data quality on the management of Biyoole project in Hargeisa Somalia. The study used the Logic model and Control Theory. The research design used was a cross-sectional. The study targeted two hundred & sixty (260) respondents. However, from the population of 260 respondents, a sample size of 158 respondents was selected using a formula for determining Sample size by Sloven’s formula. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire and interview guide with 158 of them sent by the researcher to 158 respondents which received a response rate of 127 respondents. The findings were that, monitoring structure, data quality, and human resource capacity influenced the management of monitoring system in Biyoole project in Hargeisa Somalia as monitoring officers, staffs who had monitoring experience and training, utilized monitoring information adequately and carried out regular data collection from various sources. More so the management of monitoring and evaluation systems was satisfactory given the fact that information was accessible to organizational staff; feedback after measurement of project activities was received and the information needs of staff were met. Therefore, the study recommends that Constitutional Review Support should ensure routine data audit, conduct preliminary assessment of impacts by conducting case studies and combine the use of logical framework with outcome mapping. The study recommends that credibility is also essential to any monitoring system. Valid and reliable data help ensure the credibility of the system. To be credible, monitoring systems need to be able to report all data— both good and bad. If bad news, or information demonstrating failure to meet desired outcomes and targets, is deliberately not reported, the system will not be credible. There is need for data protection.
