“…The M&E criteria should meet the needs of all the stakeholders involved, regardless of who commissions M&Ethe evaluator, stakeholders or project employees (Rubin, 1995: 39-42). The M&E framework also specifies the objectives for monitoring and evaluating, which give the practices' emphasis, roles and standards (Rubin, 1995;UNFPA, 2000). When M&E should be undertaken during a project's lifecycle should be specified in the M&E framework.…”

Objectives: The paper strongly emphasises how crucial it is to create monitoring and evaluation procedures that make greater use of monitoring and evaluation while also enhancing the prospects for the professional progress of its staff. Numerous towns are still having problems with poor service delivery. This begs the question of why, if monitoring and assessment are properly implemented, there are still frequent demonstrations about poor service delivery. Methods: A theoretical analysis and a review of the literature are part of the research methodology. The Afrocentric, Collaborative, and Theory of Change theories are useful bases to build upon and provide the conceptual frameworks for the analysis in this paper. Systematic analysis is performed on data gathered from a variety of sources, such as scholarly journals, books, government reports, and pertinent publications. Results:The study’s findings suggested that there is a skills gap in the monitoring and evaluation field, necessitating the need for monitoring and evaluation experts to enhance their knowledge and abilities to meet the needs of the next generation. Conclusion: The paper concludes by supporting the South African Constitution which requires all branches of government to provide the people of South Africa with high-quality services. Poor service delivery calls into question South African municipalities’ use of monitoring and evaluation as control mechanisms for an effective governance management tool. None of the strategic objectives of municipalities can be accomplished if municipal administrations perform poorly and their monitoring and evaluation capabilities are not used adequately. Because human resource capacities directly affect monitoring and evaluation’s effectiveness, public institutions must be developed through modernising these processes and enhancing their effectiveness.

“…In fact, there is no reason why an investigation, using the book as a guideline, should not be initiated and completed entirely within the community itself. Development agencies, for example Oxfam [23] and the Charities Evaluation Services, [24] have also sponsored similar practical manuals.…”

“…This impact ideally is measured by positive outcomes attributable to the NGDOs' programs. Avoluminous body of literature addresses the issues surrounding the measurement of impact or net social benefit of NGDOs (see, for example, Berlage & Stokke, 1992; Edwards & Hulme, 1996; Marsden & Oakley, 1995;Rubin, 1995). One potentially important type of impact that has yet to be addressed in this literature is what we call the "community economic impact," defined here as the direct and induced impact of the NGDO on local economic activity.…”
