Monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;amp;E) is the most important component in the project&lt;br&gt;
management. Despite its importance, the effectiveness of M&amp;amp;E system is affected by various&lt;br&gt;
factors. Addis Ababa HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office (AAHAPCO) runs HIV/AIDS&lt;br&gt;
projects which are supported by government of Ethiopia and international organizations.&lt;br&gt;
This research aims to assess the practices of M&amp;amp;E in AAHAPCO and identify the challenges.&lt;br&gt;
The method used for this study was census. This method was selected for two main reasons.&lt;br&gt;
The first reason is the number of staffs who were engaged in project implementation and&lt;br&gt;
M&amp;amp;E activities were few. The second reason was to obtain sufficient data from the&lt;br&gt;
aforementioned staff. During data collection, out of the total project and M&amp;amp;E staffs who&lt;br&gt;
were supposed to be fill the questionnaire, more than 90% of them filled and returned the&lt;br&gt;
questionnaires provided to them. The research found that although most of the respondents&lt;br&gt;
have first degree and ample work experience in project management and M&amp;amp;E, majority of&lt;br&gt;
them did not have sufficient knowledge about M&amp;amp;E policy, framework, guidelines and&lt;br&gt;
procedures of the office because they were neither oriented nor provided these documents at&lt;br&gt;
the time of or after employment. The second finding of this research is that M&amp;amp;E is practiced&lt;br&gt;
regularly and in participatory approach and also the management utilise the information&lt;br&gt;
produced by M&amp;amp;E staff. However, the M&amp;amp;E officers do not have sufficient technical&lt;br&gt;
knowledge of M&amp;amp;E but perform their activities using the tradition method that they were told&lt;br&gt;
to do. The third finding is that the practice of M&amp;amp;E is challenged by lack of budget, the&lt;br&gt;
existence of different reporting requirement by different funders, time consuming&lt;br&gt;
implementing activities, and lack of skill in M&amp;amp;E. Thus, it is recommended that AAHAPCO&lt;br&gt;
should build the capacity of M&amp;amp;E officer by providing orientation and providing the M&amp;amp;E&lt;br&gt;
policy, procedures and manuals to new employees and also enabling the old-timer M&amp;amp;E staff&lt;br&gt;
to get training or formal education in M&amp;amp;E. Moreover, AAHAPCO should allocate sufficient&lt;br&gt;
budget for M&amp;amp;E activities&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
