While Rwanda's higher education sector has experienced significant growth, there is still a shortage of qualified staff for research, policy engagement, and high-quality postgraduate education. The research objectives of the study were to assess the influence of M&amp;E capacity building, M&amp;E budgeting, and M&amp;E quality assurance on the sustainability of the UR-Sweden Program. The study utilized survey research design, including descriptive research survey design and correlational research design. The target population consisted of 82 employees of the program, and a structured questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. The data analysis involved inferential statistics, including regression modeling and correlation analysis. According to the findings of the first research objective (β1= 0.341, p-value=0.000<0.05), M&amp;E for capacity building influences the sustainability of the UR-Sweden Programme for RHEIA in a significant way. According to the findings of the second research objective (β2= 0.194, p-value= 0.006<0.05), M&amp;E budgeting influences the sustainability of the UR-Sweden Programme for RHEIA in a significant way. According to the findings of the third research objective (β3= 0.423, p-value=0.000<0.05), M&amp;E quality assurance has a significant positive effect on the UR-Sweden Programme for RHEIA's sustainability.The study found a significant positive correlation between M&amp;E practices and the long-term viability of the UR-Sweden Program. Approximately 71.8% of sustainability changes were determined and influenced by M&amp;E budgeting, M&amp;E quality assurance, and M&amp;E capacity building. These findings highlight the significance of efficient M&amp;E systems and the need for qualified personnel with the necessary technical knowledge and training. The study concluded that the UR-Sweden Program for RHEIA has robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;E) practices that significantly contribute to its sustainability. This strength in M&amp;E is evident in human resource capacity, effective budgeting, and quality assurance mechanisms, all of which play critical roles in the program's long-term viability and impact. The study recommends ongoing investment in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;E) for capacity building through regular training and efficient budget allocation. The study also recommends maintaining and potentially enhancing quality assurance mechanisms, including periodic internal and external audits, to ensure data reliability. Lastly, the study emphasizes the importance of specialized training for both in-field and on-field staff for effective project planning and resource allocation.

This innovative funding method has democratized access to financial resources, enabling startups to turn their creative ideas into viable businesses. The impact of crowdfunding extends beyond financial support, fostering community engagement, market validation, and a sense of shared ownership among backers, making it a dynamic force in the entrepreneurial landscape. Descriptive research methodology was used for this study. The 900 young entrepreneurs of Tampines, Singapore were the intended audience.&nbsp; The study's sample size was 750 people, drawn at random from the pool of 900 young entrepreneurs in Tampines, Singapore. The information was collected using questionnaires. In conclusion, crowdfunding has emerged as a vital source of startup financing among youths in Tampines, Singapore. It offers a democratic platform that allows young entrepreneurs to access capital, test market demand, and build a community of supporters. However, its impact can vary depending on the campaign's appeal, marketing efforts, and the unique challenges faced by each startup, highlighting the need for a well-thought-out strategy when utilizing crowdfunding as a financing avenue. The study recommended that to harness the potential of crowdfunding for youth startups in Tampines, Singapore, it is crucial to invest in digital marketing and social media campaigns that effectively communicate the value proposition of the business and engage the local community. Collaborative efforts between government agencies and local organizations can help educate young entrepreneurs on the intricacies of crowdfunding, providing workshops and resources to enhance their campaign planning and execution. Startups should focus on building a compelling narrative and showcasing their social impact, as this can resonate strongly with backers and increase the chances of successful crowdfunding campaigns while fostering a sense of community involvement in Tampines.
