Results-Based Management Session 0. Introduction: Why and key concepts BenedettaMagri, Bangkok, 2-5 September 2013
INTRODUCTION TO RBM Some acronyms • RBM: • Results-Based Management • PPCM: • Programme and project cycle management • HRBA: • Human Rights Based Approach • M&E: • Monitoring and Evaluation • TEN: • That’s Enough Now!
WHY RBM? In all UN-funded programmesit is a statutory obligation… • …. to make good use of public funds and donors’ contributions • …. to self-assess whether we are achieving results and if not, why
WHY RBM? • If you do not measure where you are how do you know whether you are getting there? • Often organizations operating with public funds… focus on their internal needs and favor their own concerns … at the expense of the results that should be provided to external parties
WHAT IS RBM? • … a management strategy by which all actorsin a project ensure that their processes, products and services contribute to the achievement of desired results • … planning, doing and reflecting, keeping in mind the results we want to achieve • …. asking “what difference do our interventions make?” and using this information to improve performance
WHAT IS RBM? Focus is on • Achieving results • Measuring performance • Learning from measuring • Adapting • Reporting performance A key component of RBM is performancemonitoring which is to objectively measure how well results are being achieved, and report on measures taken to improve them.
WHAT IS A PROJECT? ….. a set of actions aiming at achieving benefits for an explicit target group, in a defined space and time and with determined resources The problem resolved or mitigated Problem affecting a certain group Project End of the project Today
PROGRAMMES • Programme several projects/components contributing to a broader strategic outcome
PROJECT/PROGRAMME COMPLEXITIES • Project = change = resistance • Complexity: • Stakeholders from different fields, representing different interests, with different cultural behaviors, social and economic power, capacities…. etc. • Complex contexts, always evolving
RBM… in practice? • To explicitly define the goal of the programme(what it is for?) and the results (=changes for the target group) that you want to pursue • To collect data on the implementation and achievements (=performance) of the programme, from year 1 and until the end. • To take strategic decisions based on the information collected and what it tells about the results obtained.
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA UN DEVELOPMENT GROUP (UNDG) DAC/COMMITTEE
