1 reporting & planning at spC
SPC planning before 2013 • 7 SPC divisions with separate strategic plans & annual reports • No annual review of progress against the SPC Strategic Plan • Minimal monitoring & evaluation occurring in divisions
SPC planning 2013-2015 • Improved reporting on activities for each Division • SPC-wide annual reporting, including country reports • Strengthened MEL
SPC planning 2016-now (WP1 p17) FAME’s Business Plan nests under SPC-wide planning & above team & staff work plans
2 What is results-based Planning?
Results-based planning Moving from just thinking about whatwe do to what difference it makes Answering the ‘so what’ question
Results-based planning & reporting • What did we do and how well did we do it? • Monitoring • What difference did we make? • Evaluation • What have we learned? • Planning / learning
Results-based planning & reporting • What did we do and how well did we do it? • Monitoring • What difference did we make? • Evaluation • What have we learned? • Planning / learning
Reversing our thinking • Starting at the end goal rather than starting at activities Identifying the long-term goals FAME works towards • Working backwards Identifying the work needed to achieve these long-term goals, i.e. ‘backwards mapping’ • Collecting evidence of change Identifying how we know / measure whether we are making a difference • Results reporting Reporting on the breadth of work, along with the impact it is having
New FAME Business Plan process • FAME Planning Retreat – February 2016 • All FAME staff survey – February 2016 • Staff workshops – March 2016 • FAME objectives & result areas • SPC organisational objectives • Draft circulation to FAME, other SPC staff & key stakeholders – 2016 • Feedback from HoF10 delegates • Endorsement
Key differences in the new FAME business plan FAME Strategic Plan 2013-2016 FAME Business Plan 2016-2018 FAME follows the SPC Strategic Plan FAME had its own Strategic Plan Objectives structured by Section Objectives structured by FAME’s goals Internal capabilities not addressed Organisational objectives included to look at how FAME works Planning period different to other SPC Divisions Business planning period the same across Divisions
Key strengths • The new approach enables us to focus on results across the Division as a whole, rather than just Section by Section activities • Clearer links to the SPC Strategic Plan & SDGs (see Figure 1) enables FAME staff to better understand the higher-level outcomes their work is contributing to.
