2 ANNEX 1: DETAILED TERMS OF REFERENCE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REPORTS: DATA COLLECTION, SYNTHESIS AND PRESENTATION 1. Background and rationale The Delivery and Performance Management Office (DPMO) is at the center of Bank s efforts to drive performance across the institution and sustain focus on delivery. The DPMO supports the ambitions of the Bank s Ten Year Strategy and the Hi5 agenda to achieve greater client responsiveness, institutional effectiveness and efficiency. The role of the DPMO is to oversee, lead and coordinate operational performance management activities across the institution, provide early warning on areas of nonperformance and drive performance improvements in critical priority areas of the Bank. The Delivery and Performance Management Office (DPMO) was established to enhance the Bank s efforts to achieve greater client responsiveness, institutional effectiveness and efficiency, enshrined in the Ten Year Strategy (TYS) and the Hi5 agenda. It seeks to provide a platform to detect, heighten awareness about both poor and good performance and to follow up on matters related to the Bank s delivery of its programs and the implementation of performance improvements. Thus, the DPMO is a key tool to overcome the Bank s potential delivery challenges and performance bottlenecks. It builds on previous achievements, moving from an expost performance monitoring mindset to a more pro-active and sustained performance management process across the institution. 2. Goals, Outcomes The DPMO currently produces a monthly dashboard for the Executive Management Team (Executive Dashboard), the Portfolio Flashlight, the Lending Tracking Report and other routine performance reports.
