First, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are important for you to assess that your project is attaining set targets. For example, by monitoring the development of the project you will easily understand whether strategic changes need to be made and act accordingly.
Second, M&E are relevant to donors who need to assess whether your Organization is a dependable partner. By reviewing milestones and final outcomes of your projects, donors will decide on the accountability of your NGO, upon which further collaborations could be established. As such, to develop a strong M&E plan is of vital importance.
Thirdly, M and E is of the great important because it also provide the organization with solid understand of phases of the project and trace the down fall of the kind project for future use. -
Its also important to consider the M&E exercise as a way to make the activities of the organization transparent and easy to accountable. There is nothing worse for a donor than not being able to understand how an organization is administering a given budget or implementing a project.

So far I understand quite a bit about this module cause it is not my field of study. But I believe an M&E plan is important to assess whether a project you wish to embark on is either feasible or not.

I really don't believe the actual intent of M&E is to determine the feasibility of a project. To my understanding it is getting to wholly or rather fully understand your project, be able to anticipate any risks or pitfalls, and get to know if your attained your intended outcomes
