The Influence of Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting and Dissemination on the Performance of global Partnership for Education Projects in Uganda

In Uganda, the performance of Global Partnership for Education projects faces abject limitations. The completion quality of projects is highly questionable, resulting in substandard project continuity. This is due to loopholes in Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting and Dissemination of the implemented project. This study sought to investigate the Influence of Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting and Dissemination on the performance of Global Partnership for Education projects in Uganda. The study presented Monitoring and Evaluation reporting and dissemination as the independent variable, the dependent variable was, performance of Global Partnership for Education projects. The study was anchored on the System theory. The study was guided by the study objective: to determine how monitoring and evaluation Reporting and Dissemination influence the performance of Global Partnership for Education projects in Uganda. The study approach integrated both quantitative and qualitative features to guarantee methodological triangulation. Data was collected by means of interview guides and questionnaires. Questionnaires were administered on 92 randomly selected staff Teachers from the districts of Bukedea and Katakwi and interview guides were administered to 56 GPE secretariat and District officials and SMC Members. The study intended to analyse present findings using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics involved the use of frequency tables, means, standard deviations in general terms of describing the dataset. Inferential statistics such as Normality tests, Correlation, simple linear regression and Predictive multiple linear regression were also utilised in answering the research questions and hypotheses of the study. Data was analysed, presented and interpreted in line with the study objective using thematic and sub thematic areas of M & E Reporting and dissemination and Performance of Global Partnership for Education projects.Questionnaires were used as a tool for data collection, with the size of 92 respondents comprising of teachers. Out of the 92 questionnaires, 70 were filled and returned, representing a return rate of 76.1% as recommended response rate to verify consistency of required measurement for analysis. The study examined the respondents in respect to their gender, designation, education level, years of service and duration of working with Global Partnership for Education projects in Uganda, to assess whether they have any implications on Performance of Global Partnership for Education projects. The study findings revealed that Integrating the M&E schedules and timeliness to complete the reporting and dissemination of information significantly influenced the performance of GPE projects in public primary schools, only that the methods were not suitable for all users in the studied organisations. The study concluded that M & E Reporting and Dissemination influence the performance of GPE projects. Therefore, initiating organisations should layout proper M&E reporting and dissemination channels.
