  9. Managing for Development Results Corporate Results Framework Poverty, human development, growth… Level 1 Development progress in Asia and the Pacific Level 2 Are we contributing? Outputs Level 3 Are we managing operations effectively? Quality, finance, focus, knowledge, partnerships Level 4 Are we managing organization effectively? People, budget, processes

  10. Level 1 Regional outcomes (MDGIs) Level 2 Outputs indicators Education Classrooms built or upgraded; Teachers trained; Students benefitting from school improvement programs Energy Installed energy generation capacity; Transmission and Distribution lines installed/upgraded; New households connected with electricity; GHG emissions reduction Finance Microfinance accounts opened or end borrowers reached; Small and medium enterprises loan accounts opened or end borrowers reached Transport Expressways build or upgraded; National/Provincial/District/Rural roads built or upgraded Water and Sanitation Water supply pipes installed/upgraded; New household served with water supply; Waste water treatment capacity added; New households served with sanitation; Land improved through irrigation services, drainage and flood management • MDG 1.1 Population living on less than $1.25 (PPP) per day (%) • MDG 3.1 Ratio of girls to boys in primary, secondary, and tertiary education • MDG 3.2 Women in nonagricultural wage employment (%) • MDG 4.1 Under-five mortality rate (per 1,000 live births) • MDG 7.8 Proportion of population using an improved drinking water source (%) but more on urban/rural disaggregation • MDG 7.9 Proportion of population using an improved sanitation facility (%) but more on urban/rural disaggregation

  11. MonitoringRegional MDG Progress • Partnership with UNDP and ESCAP to support MDG progress tracking, raise awareness, and improve policies and institutions involved in achieving MDGs. • Joint Asia-Pacific MDG Reports for regional assessment as input to the global UN MDG assessment. • 2010/11 report focused on overall priorities and opportunities and on hunger and food security; health and basic services; and improvement of basic infrastructure.

  13. Research, knowledge and statistics Statistical Capacity Building • Improving administrative data sources for MDG indicators (Handbook on Use of Administrative Data Sources). • Measuring informal employment and the informal sector. • International Comparison Program (ICP) – provides inputs for the computation/ compilation of PPP-based poverty line (e.g., $1.25PPP).
