Yamane formula was used to obtain a sample size of 400 heads of households while eight Village Committees and eight Monitoring Officers were selected by using purposive sampling. Quantitative data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and regression models while qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. The study established a significant influence between households’ involvement in the implementation of Monitoring and Evaluation plan (t= 8.472, p-value =.000) on the performance of the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project. In this manner, it was evidenced that households’ contribution to Monitoring and Evaluation significantly influenced the performance of the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project. It was recommended therefore that the Tanzania Conditional Cash Transfer Project Monitoring and Evaluation policy should be reviewed in order to ensure it is people-centered and make it vital for households’ involvement in the Monitoring and Evaluation cycle. The review must define the Monitoring and Evaluation team that is composed of households’ representatives. Further investigations ought to look at the organizational practice of Monitoring and Evaluation and level of use of Monitoring and Evaluation information for further improving performance.
