Managing for Development Results

1. Managing for Development Results Results-Oriented Monitoring and Evaluation

2. Managing for Development Results Results-based monitoring takes in the whole results chain, from inputs, via activities and outputs through to the outcomes and impacts; it represents another facet of an already established monitoring procedure. The distinctive feature is that this kind of monitoring focuses not only on what has been done, but attempts to identify the changes generated by what has been done.

4. For impact monitoring, one has to clearly differentiate the three levels of the LogFrames: • What are the goods and services to be provided by your programme/ component? (This is to be found in the activities and output statements) • How are your immediate target groups expected to make use of these goods and services, to apply or utilise them (utilisation)? Statements of this logical level represent the first level of impacts, usually labelled Immediate Objectives, Purpose, or Outcomes. • Which kind of benefits can be directly attributed to the utilisation of the programme/component services by the immediate target groups? This is impact level 2, usually labelled Development Objective.

5. Substantive Focus Performance Relevance Program Quality SUCCESS

6. Key criteria • relevance – the degree to which the objectives of a programme remain valid and significant; • performance – progress of a programme towards achieving its objectives, in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and timeliness; • success – attaining a measurable level of benefits that can be directly attributed to the programme, in terms of impact, sustainability and capacity development.
