techniques: The data were collected at the MoHCDGEC in
Dodoma and Dar es Salaam regions, where
various projects are monitored and evaluated.
Interviews, document reviews and focus group
discussions were used to analyze the current
M&E system for government projects.
The requirements for the proposed system
were analyzed and participants agreed to have
an electronic M&E system for government
projects in Tanzania.

are answered?
The main findings are based on the relating
topic or thematic area, which improves the
project performance.
The Ministry of Health, Community
Development, Gender, Elderly and Children
(MoHCDGEC) currently relies on manual or
paper based systems in M&E of project
activities, revealing a number of challenges in
their operation such as poor information
sharing and underperformance. Some previous
studies indicate that there is a need for web-
based tools to monitor and evaluate project
activities, simplify data collection,
accommodate information sharing among
stakeholders and improve the projects’
performance. After the system’s development,
the results of user acceptance testing indicate
that the developed PMES will help reducing
the presented challenges. Moreover, the
developed system will improve the quality of
data, simplify the process of data collection
and improve the progress of projects of the
Ministry of Health in Tanzania.

The mean score for each validated feature was
above 3.5 which indicates that the majority of
the respondents accepted the developed

Therefore, they will recommend the tool or its
