Abstract The study was a survey research type and purposive sampling technique was used to select sixteen TETFund monitoring and evaluation officers and simple random sampling was used to select twenty-two TETFund staff. Two instruments were developed by the researcher and validated by experts they are: Monitoring and Evaluation Inventory (MEI) and Constraints to TETFund Intervention Questionnaire (CTIQ) with the reliability coefficient values of 0.7 and 0.8 respectively. Data were collected by the researcher and analyzed using descriptive statistics. 87% of monitoring officers indicated that number of TETFund staff for monitoring and evaluation exercise is inadequate while 81.3% revealed that communication from desk officers in charge of beneficiary universities is a major barrier to effectiveness of monitoring exercise. Also, 77.2% and 68.1% of respondents respectively agreed that there is problem of project maintenance by the universities and there is poor management of funds by the beneficiaries. Among others, it is recommended that the number of TETFund officers going out for monitoring and evaluation exercise be increased and maintenance culture be emphasized among the beneficiaries. Key words: TETFund Intervention, Monitoring and Evaluation. South-Western Universities.
