Result Based Monitoring and Evaluation Outcome Process for Household Food Security.

Worldwide, Governments continue to face severe challenges on food insecurity, both urban and rural Kenya have been affected. The execution and durability of projects have proven to be difficult, despite attempts by the Governments and Donor agencies efforts to finance food-related agricultural-based programmes for food security. The purpose of this study was to establish the Influence of Monitoring and Evaluation of Agricultural-Based Projects on Household Food Security in Murang’a County, Kenya. The study objective/s was to determine whether Monitoring of agricultural-based project processes had any influence on household food security in Murang’a County. Result-Based Monitoring and Evaluation strategy was utilised as widely used by development agencies since the 1990s. Value addition methods were also applied to help provide longevity, curb, and reduce spoilage of food whose lifespan is short. Researcher used pragmatic paradigm, with both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The research design used descriptive and correlational surveys. Sample size from the population, was chosen using stratified, simple random, and purposive selection techniques. The target population was 134,654 individuals based on the 2019 census data and the sample size of 383 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan Table of sampling method, which comprised of 372 household heads, 7 local leaders, and 4 agricultural extension officers as key informants. An interview guide and structured questionnaires were main methods used to collect data. A pilot test was carried out with a sample of 38 household heads from Muchatha, Kiambu County, to confirm the validity and reliability of the research instruments, the test yielded a reliability coefficient of = 0.818 (Cronbach's alpha) for the pre-tested instruments used in the pilot. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 computer program which generates frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, correlations, and regressions were used to ascertain the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Descriptive and inferential statistics are used to analyze quantitative data. A paired sample t-test was used to evaluate the study's hypothesis after thematic analysis of the qualitative data. Shapiro-Wilk test statistics were used to test for normality which made sure the study sample was representative of a group with a normally distributed population and the variation inflation factor (VIF) was used to test for multicollinearity. By ensuring that the data used in hypothesis testing were roughly normal and appropriately transformed, as determined by Levene's statistics for equality of variances, heteroscedasticity was reduced. Tests were run to evaluate the statistical hypotheses and guarantee the accuracy of the study before beginning the data analysis. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient and simple and multiple linear regression models were used to determine the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The findings obtained from seven hypotheses were investigated with a significance level of 0.05: The null hypothesis (H0), which claimed that the M&E Input process and Household food security have no meaningful association, was disproved (P=0.0000.05). The null hypothesis about the relationship between household food security and M&E activities process was disproved (P=0.0000.05). The M&E Output process and Household Food Security null hypothesis was likewise rejected (P=0.0000.05). The M&E Outcome process null hypothesis regarding household food security was disproved (P=0.0000.05). The M&E Impact process and Household Food Security null hypothesis was likewise disproved (P=0.0000.05). Additionally, the combined Results-Based M&E of Agricultural-based Projects and Household Food Security null hypothesis was rejected (P=0.0000.05). The association of M&E of Agricultural-Base products and Value addition on household food security was the last null hypothesis to be rejected (P=0.0000.05). The null hypothesis that Value addition did not significantly affect the link between Results-based agricultural programs and family food security was also rejected (P=0.0000.05). Study conclusion, that value addition acts as a moderator and results-based agricultural projects have a major impact on household food security. The results of this study should help household heads, local leaders, agricultural extension offices, and Government and Donor agencies to generalize and adopt results-based M&E agriculture practices and value addition to improve household food security through the insightful information from the study. The findings realized that Results-based agriculture projects and value-adding techniques were essential in making well-informed decisions about household food security. In conclusion, training and encouraging households to shift their attitudes towards education and crucial knowledge of monitoring and evaluating practices would ultimately guaranteeing enhanced produce output and food security for households. The study recommended generalization to the already proven research and future research should seek fully incorporate monitoring and evaluation procedures. Future study should also look at how monitoring and evaluation procedures affected Kenyan households in adopting new agricultural methods and value addition to achieve long lasting and sustainable initiatives of Food security in Murang’a County and generalized in the whole of Kenya.
