Session 3: From setting priorities to Programming for results

1. Session 3: From settingpriorities to Programming for results

2. Phase 3. Programming for results • Defining the results matrix • number of results • level of details • Resources • Setting up M&E mechanism • Principles • modality • calendar • actors • Relevance • Feasibility • Sustainability

3. CPF results matrix • CPF Results Hierarchy – definitions

4. Results chain – country examples CPF impact CPF outcome CPF outputs Activities, Projects SMART

5. SMART RESULTS Specificin terms of the natureand scopeof achievements and changes sought, the target groups and geographical area etc.; Measurable: measurable quantitatively and/or qualitatively; data will be available when needed within the time period Achievableand time-bound in CPF period with the resources available Relevant to national priorities and FAO’s mandate; substantial, necessary and sufficient

6. Results matrix and resource mobilization • CPF results matrix will help you: • Define the outcomes and outputs you aim to engage resource partners on – who may fund a % of the CPF, or wish to see a project packaged around a particular CPF outcome • The RM target will become clearer – make sure it is realistic!

7. Ref to CPF guide to see the templates

8. M&E and Reporting – principles • Principles • Harmonization with the country and UNDAF M&E system to the extent possible • Integration with the FAO corporate monitoring system through the Strategic Framework results chain and • Integration with the FAO project cycle

9. Strategic Planning in the UNDAFWHAT’S NEW? • Simplified results matrix that integrates the M&E framework • Two options of the UNDAF Matrix • Option to include UNDAF Action Plan, with Common Budgetary Framework • Option to finance “funding gap” with One UN Fund

10. Results Matrix – first option

11. Results Matrix – second option

12. With second option, UNDAF Action Plan can be prepared..... WHAT IS AN UNDAF ACTION PLAN? Signature page Partnership, values and principles Implementation strategies Management and Accountability Arrangements Resources and RMS Communication M&E Commitments of the Government Other provisions UNDAF Action Plan Matrix

13. The UNDAF Action Plan includes the Common Budgetary Framework and can include One UN Fund COMMON BUDGETARY FRAMEWORK ONE FUND This has implications for FAO’s Resource Mobilization strategy/action plan!

14. Linkages between CPF and UNDAF results chain • Ensure logical link between CPF and UNDAF results: • CPF impact coincideswith UNDAF outcomes • CPF outcomes contribute to UNDAF outputs • CPF outputs are incorporated as activities in UNDAF action plan Apply flexibly, ONE size may not fit all situations

15. Questions

16. Group exercise – Review the results matrix of a real case Working group instructions • Task 1: Review the extract of the Ethiopia results matrix taking into consideration the following ...

17. Tips for Group exercise: Quality Assurance criteria • Relevance • Alignment and strategic fit (Gvt, UNDAF, FAO SF/ORs/RRs) • Comparative advantages and partnership • Feasibility • Are the proposed Outcomes achievable and measurable • Are the proposed Outputs valid and logically linked, contributing to CPF outcomes • Sustainability • Are the intended Outcomes sustainable (financially, capacities, etc) • Are the risks identified, and mitigation strategies put in place

18. Business rules • Quality assurance (handout) • Roles and responsibility (pg 50) • Reporting schedule
