Structured questionnaires were administered to collect quantitative data while focus group discussions were conducted to collect qualitative data. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability through the content validity index (CVI=0.833) and the Cronbach Alpha‟ s index (a=0.795) for reliability. Regression models were used to analyse quantitative data while qualitative data was analysed using content analysis. The study found out that the level of stakeholder participation in utilization of Monitoring and Evaluation results was average (M=3.43).The study established a significant influence of stakeholder participation in utilization of M&E results (t=14.20, p<0.05) on performance of fish farming projects.
