Description The general objective of the study was to examine effectiveness of the role of public sector monitoring and evaluation in promoting good governance in Uganda, with a focus on Ministry of Local Government. Specifically, the study sought to: examine out how effective role of ME accountability, ME Management Decision, ME Organisational learning in promoting good governance and draw lessons from practice, and provide a recommendation to better inform the implementation strategy of ME in the Ministry of Local Government. A case study design was used and both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques were employed. The respondents comprised of staff of the Ministry of Local Government and Office of the Prime Minister. Quantitative data was analysed using correlation and percentages while qualitative data was analysed using content analysis. The study revealed that ME accountability, ME management decision and ME organisation learning had significant role in promoting good governance in the Ministry of Local Government. It was therefore concluded that ME enhanced accountability, management decision and organisation learning and promoted good governance. The study recommended that ME should not only be tied to nominal compliance but should support evidence-based decision making. ME should be properly institutionalised, funded and located so as to mediate policy process, planning and service delivery.
