framework, through the discussion and/or analysis of applicable PM&E theories and concepts;
to provide an overview of organizational structure of the project implementation team of SOS;
to identify the different stakeholders involved in the monitoring and evaluation process; to
empirically assess the process of PM&E in the SOS Project.
The theoretical and conceptual framework of participatory development approach and the child
rights based approach is used in this study. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of
research are used throughout the study and measurement of key variables are made. While the
systematic random sampling technique is utilised to collect data for the quantitative research,
purposive sampling was used to select respondents for semi-structured interviews in the
qualitative research.

Cape Town, South Africa is participatory in which the relevant stakeholders, especially the
beneficiaries i.e. children participate in the monitoring and evaluation process. However, the
study recommended that there should be an updated training and seminar for the staff to
empower them to enhance their understanding of participatory monitoring and evaluation
