Abstract

Purpose: The study sought to determine influence of funding on performance of Monitoring and Evaluation system of Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus Programme in Msambweni Sub- County, Kwale County

Methodology: A descriptive survey design was used. A total of 36 staff working in the HIV Programme were targeted because they are familiar with the M&E activities of the programme. All thirty-six staff working in the programme were used in this study as respondents. The researcher used Census survey in each facility because the number of subjects was manageable. Data was collected from the respondents using semi- structured questionnaires. The data was sorted, assessed for completeness and edited for errors, coded, and then entered into the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 where it was analysed using descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics that were used include percentages and frequencies.  Data presentation was done using tables, charts and graphs.

Findings: Results revealed that the budget allocated for most of the respondents is minimal and does not favour the monitoring and evaluation system. The study concluded that lack of sufficient budget allocation has a negative impact on the performance of the monitoring and evaluation system.

Unique contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends for more money to be generated in to the budget allocated to favour the monitoring and evaluation system. Lastly but not least the study recommends that training should be encouraged on services delivery to the programme since it have got a very high impact on monitoring and evaluation system.
