| dc.description.abstract | Pioneer Network is a donor-funded project in Embakasi West Constituency that aims to improve residents' quality of life through empowering church development projects. This study aimed to evaluate elements influencing the sustainability of donor-funded projects in Embakasi West Constituency, Kenya. The study focused on monitoring and evaluation, donor funding levels, community participation, and capacity building. The projects include schools, health centers, water supply systems, and relief programs. The study used a descriptive research design and a proportional sampling method to gather primary data from 196 respondents. The findings showed a positive relationship between monitoring and evaluation, level of donor funding, community engagement and capacity building with project sustainability. The study recommends a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework throughout all stages of donor-funded projects to identify challenges and provide appropriate solutions. Monitoring financial sustainability is crucial for assessing long-term viability, and the contributions made by beneficiaries indicate overall system sustainability. Community participation should begin with proposal development, needs assessment, project site selection, planning, design, implementation, financial stage, and monitoring and evaluation. | en_US |
