A template for linking resources to results Vietnam: Results at a GlanceInputs Outputs Outcomes Results
Issue Countries and donors seek to show development results from their programmes Different approaches, even in the same country Overlapping reporting requirements of donors Undermines capacity and confuses messages
Solution A template owned by the country Used with all donors Report in a common format on shared objectives Can be tuned for national goals and intermediate indicators Can link summary to detailed sectoral or sub-national sheets Supports Paris Declaration - mutual accountability and results reporting Move from a focus on inputs to a focus on results
Example Example - results and resources for Vietnam Includes contribution from one donor (UK shown in yellow) Facilitates discussions between Vietnam and the UK on its past and future aid programme Could help UK reporting on its programme in Vietnam Easy to show contribution of another bilateral or multilateral donor –change just two data panels Data panels illustrative - easily customised to national goals and indicators
An Overview of Results on a page Resources at a glance—aid (top ten donors, aid by sector), FDI, remittances, population, GNI, growth, trade, public expenditure Inputs/resources—external resources from bilateral and multilateral donors —resources by sector from the national budget Aid Effectiveness—using the Paris Declaration indicators to show how effectively aid is being delivered Intermediate outputs—pupil/teacher ratio, child immunisation, etc.— that are measured more frequently than outcomes Outcomes/results—key MDG indicators for poverty, education, health and environment
Showing Relevance Avoid direct link from spending on education to numbers of teachers and primary school enrolment Instead show trends in national and external resources for education and see if number of teachers and enrolment are responding Shared effort–donors making a contribution to national results Template caters for future aid flows, improving predictability Supports country Results and Resources Processes Template supported by information systems: Aid Management Platform (AMP) for aid flows and Paris Declaration Indicators Links to public financial management/government accounting systems DevInfo for MDG and Output indicators
