Abstract: This study investigates the impact of participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) practices on the performance of radiotherapy bunker installation projects in Kenya’s regional cancer centers. Recognizing the complexity of such health infrastructure projects, the research focused on key PM&E practices: stakeholder involvement, information sharing, capacity building, and joint decision-making. Guided by participatory development theory, stakeholder theory, program theory, and results-based management theory, the study employed a descriptive design with 110 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple linear regression. Findings revealed that all four PM&E practices positively and significantly influenced project performance, with capacity building having the strongest effect. The model explained 28.5% of the variance in project performance. The study recommends strengthening PM&E practices especially capacity building, stakeholder engagement, information sharing, and collaborative decision-making to enhance the implementation and outcomes of complex health infrastructure projects.
