Results Based Management (RBM): A list of resources
CIDA website: Results-based Management
Results-based Management (RBM) is a comprehensive, life-cycle approach to management that integrates business strategy, people, processes, and measurements to improve decision-making and to drive change.
The approach focuses on getting the right design early in a process, implementing performance measurement, learning and changing, and reporting on performance.

ADB website: Results Based Management Explained
Results Based Management (RBM) can mean different things to different people. A simple explanation is that RBM is the way an organization is motivated and applies processes and resources to achieve targeted results.
Results refer to outcomes that convey benefits to the community (e.g. Education for All (EFA), targets set in both Mongolia and Cambodia). Results also encompass the service outputs that make those outcomes possible (such as trained students and trained teachers). The term ‘results’ can also refer to internal outputs such as services provided by one part of the organization for use by another. The key issue is that results differ from ‘activities’ or ‘functions’. Many people when asked what they produce (services) describe what they do (activities).
RBM encompasses four dimensions, namely:
- specified results that are measurable, monitorable and relevant
- resources that are adequate for achieving the targeted results
- organizational arrangements that ensure authority and responsibilities are aligned with results and resources
- processes for planning, monitoring, communicating and resource release that enable the organization to convert resources into the desired results.
RBM may use some new words or apply specific meanings to some words in general usage. Check introduction to RBM presentation[PDF | 56 pages].

UNFPA website: Results-Based Management at UNFPA
There is a broad trend among public sector institutions towards Results-Based Management--RBM. Development agencies, bilateral such as Canada, the Netherlands, UK, and the US as well as multilateral such as UNDP, UNICEF and the World Bank, are adopting RBM with the aim to improve programme and management effectiveness and accountability and achieve results.
RBM is fundamental to the Fund's approach and practice in fulfilling its mandate and effectively providing assistance to developing countries. At UNFPA, RBM means:
- Establishing clear organizational vision, mission and priorities, which are translated into a four-year framework of goals, outputs, indicators, strategies and resources (MYFF);
- Encouraging an organizational and management culture that promotes innovation, learning, accountability, and transparency;
- Delegating authority and empowering managers and holding them accountable for results;
- Focusing on achieving results, through strategic planning, regular monitoring of progress, evaluation of performance, and reporting on performance;
- Creating supportive mechanisms, policies and procedures, building and improving on what is in place, including the operationalization of the logframe;
- Sharing information and knowledge, learning lessons, and feeding these back into improving decision-making and performance;
- Optimizing human resources and building capacity among UNFPA staff and national partners to manage for results;
- Making the best use of scarce financial resources in an efficient manner to achieve results;
- Strengthening and diversifying partnerships at all levels towards achieving results;
- Responding to the realities of country situations and needs, within the organizational mandate.
OECD report: RESULTS BASED MANAGEMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT CO-OPERATION AGENCIES: A REVIEW OF EXPERIENCE BACKGROUND REPORT
In order to respond to the need for an overview of the rapid evolution of RBM, the DAC Working Party on Aid Evaluation initiated a study of performance management systems. The ensuing draft report was
presented to the February 2000 meeting of the WP-EV and the document was subsequently revised.
It was written by Ms. Annette Binnendijk, consultant to the DAC WP-EV.This review constitutes the first phase of the project; a second phase involving key informant interviews in a number of agencies is due for completion by November 2001.

this list has a long way to go....!
Monitoring and Evaluation is the key for change and development. The presence of a project or a program without monitoring and evaluation is not fruit full and cannot effectively and efficiently utilize the available resources for the project or program implementation or delivery. So, the development efforts on monitoring and evaluation is very crucial and important as it gives ways, mechanisms or systems in which the objective projects or programs. I am happy to be part of this association. I would like to thank the organizers for providing this learning and information sharing opportunity on monitoring and evaluation.
Who are eligible to attend the Swiss Evaluation Society (SEVAL) and Geneva Evaluation Network (GEN) conference
I suspect it is anyone who pays the conference fee :-) But check their website… there must be one
How much is the conference fee per participant? Is it possible for you to send an invitation letter for two?
If Africa is to really change in how it is being governed, independent monitoring and evaluation has to be made its integral companion.

This year Ministry of Economic Development and Polish Agency for Enterprise Development hosts 12th International Evaluation Conference “Evaluation that matters. Ways to improve public policies.” The event will take place in Wroc?aw 21st – 22nd June in Mercure Hotel at plac Dominika?ski 1. The aim of the conference is to present the results of public policies in the European Union. The evidence provided by the evaluation study not only illustrates the results of the actions taken, but also explains the socio-economic mechanisms, opportunities and barriers of the countries concerned.
The conference is a forum for increasing knowledge and skills, exchanging experience and research results. Thanks to this event, specialists involved in the evaluation process at various stages have a great opportunity to meet, develop contacts and understand different points of view. We are confident that this will have a significant impact on the preparation of high-quality evaluation research. By enhancing the quality of research and releasing the potential of institutions involved in the evaluation process, we contribute to a better policy.

Thanks to this event, specialists involved in the evaluation process at various stages have a great opportunity to meet, develop contacts and understand different points of view. We are confident that this will have a significant impact on the preparation of high-quality evaluation research. By enhancing the quality of research and releasing the potential of institutions involved in the evaluation process, we contribute to a better policy.
The history of our conference dates back to 2005 when we organized the first edition of the event. Since then, our mission has remained the same and for the past twelve years we have been developing evidence, skills and knowledge across Europe so that we can obtain the best possible results of our work. “Results” is the keyword of our conference. The objective of the 12th conference is to present outcomes of public policies based on evidence from evaluation. Evidence delivered by the evaluation process not only present outcomes of taken up actions but also explain mechanisms, opportunities and barriers of particular economies. The second goal of this year’s event is to point out to fields which might present challenges for evaluation units in the near future. New technologies, developing and demanding both fields and methods and institutional determinants that influence final results importantly will constitute the second pillar of the event.
During this year’s event we will focus on broadly defined systems of evaluation encompassing both evaluation culture and evaluation methodology. Participants will be able to learn from four different panels: (1) Causal effects in evaluation, (2) Evaluation culture across the world, (3) Evaluation of development programmes, and (4) Application of serious games in evaluation. We will also discuss outcomes of policies implemented within European Union during the last couple of years, stressing especially those that reflect results of cohesion policy.
