Abstract: The study objective was to establish whether monitoring and evaluation and project funding have any influence on the implementation of CDF projects in Juja Constituency. The study adopted agency theory, theory of project implementation, and public value theory to provide an overview discussion of the variables. A survey research design was used in this study because it is a very powerful form of qualitative analysis that involves a careful and complete observation of a social unit irrespective of what type of unit is under study. A census sampling was composed of all the 80 employees from Juja CDF offices. Data was collected using questionnaires. Data was analyzed using analytical tools such as mean as a measure of central tendency, percentages since they are very useful for showing and summarizing data when any complex models are needed. Correlations using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 packages was also used to establish the level of co linearity among the independent variables. In addition multiple regressions were used to determine the effect of a set of independent variable on dependent variable. The study finding reveled that both variables were influencing strategy implementation on development funded projects in Juja constituency. The study revealed that both variables had positive and were statistically significant. The study concluded that monitoring and evaluation had a significant effect on implementation of development projects in Juja Constituency. It also concluded that project funding had a significant effect on implementation of projects. Therefore the study recommends that constituency should come up with more innovative ways of monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the proposed projects. Further the study recommended an improvement of funding criteria.
