| Summary: | It is difficult to know if programs have
succeeded or failed if the expected results are not clearly
articulated. An explicit definition of results, precisely
what is to be achieved through the project or program and by
when, keeps measurable objectives in sight, helps monitor
progress toward those objectives, and assists with
adjustment and management of program implementation.
Results-based management is a key tool for development
effectiveness. Recent years have witnessed a trend in
explicitly specifying the results (outcomes and impacts) of
both broader country strategies and more specific programs
and projects. Internationally agreed principles have
underpinned this push for results, most notably with the
adoption of the United Nations Millennium Declaration
(2000), which established the Millennium Development Goals
with targets and indicators to provide the basis for
measuring progress and the effectiveness of aid. This
publication also provides various examples or excerpts of
results frameworks used at various levels (for example,
country, project, and organization) and offers references
for further support to practitioners in designing and using
results frameworks for development effectiveness. |
