Lecturer’s ca- pacity has been evaluated using different parameters in Assosa University, Ethiopia. Mandatorily, lecturers are evaluated using printed check list. For the last few years we observed that, the lecturer efficiency score is found on the shelf and not checked by anyone to know the gaps and to establish fol- low-up system. The use of intranet based web system is better to use lecturer’s efficiency result to monitor their performance and to establish follow-up mechanism. In this study, a prototype of web based yearbook efficiency management system for evaluating and monitoring the performance of lec- turers was designed and developed. The evaluation process in the system was presented according to the university evaluation format. The output gener- ated by the proposed system can be used by lecturers, HoD, HRM and aca- demic managers to monitor teaching performance.
