Abstract
The Zanzibar public sector's monitoring and evaluation system engaged
numerous stakeholders from diverse organizations. The paper assessed the
effect of stakeholder Engagement on the effectiveness of the M&E system in
the Zanzibar public sector. The study adopted a positivist philosophy and a
quantitative approach. Data were collected through a questionnaire
constructed with a points Likert scale from 170 implementers of the Zanzibar
Strategy for Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction III (ZSSGRP III).
Stratified and simple random samplings were used in sample selection. Both
descriptive and inferential statistics were applied for data analysis. The
results established that stakeholder engagement had a positive and
significant effect on the effectiveness of the M&E system. The findings
underscored the importance of engaging stakeholders in all stages of M&E
including designing, implementation, and reporting. The study suggested the
need for the Zanzibar M&E lead agency to enhance fully stakeholders’
engagement throughout the monitoring and evaluation process to nurture
their skill mix potential to improve the overall effectiveness of M&E systems
in the Zanzibar public sector.
