The study was guided by the research objectives, survey questions, and appropriate methodologies to produce credible and reliable findings that are very significant to government and non-government actors, including the communities as a guide in the advocacy and formulation of policies and programs geared toward realizing sustainable development goals in local governments as well as an eye opener for the community, leaders , donors and other non-state actors concerning their obligations and reiterating the impact of efficient monitoring and evaluation in the public sector as a vehicle for promoting good governance in Uganda. According to the study's findings, monitoring, assessment, and the promotion of good governance in Uganda's public sector are strongly correlated. Yet, if all other variables remained the same, an increase in monitoring and assessment of one percent would, on average, result in an increase in good governance of 0.567. We rejected the null hypothesis and came to the conclusion that there was a significant link between monitoring and evaluation and effective governance since the P-value (0.00) was less than 0.05 at the 95% confidence interval. We rejected the null hypothesis and found that the disturbance term was not normally distributed and that the normal curve was not bell-shaped after comparing the Jarque-Bera value (0.8), which is more than 0.05.
