1 Results Based Management (RBM) and the UNDAF Results Matrix

2 2 Mandatory Steps 1. Road Map 1 Road Map 2. Country Analysis 3. Strategic Planning 3. Strategic Planning 4. M&E

3 Strategic Road Planning Map RBM in practice In your table groups, discuss and agree What are the 3 main issues you are facing in understanding or applying RBM? one concern per card Pink

4 Strategic UNDAF Clearly linked to and based on the analysis; Based on comparative advantages; Focused on a relatively few issues to provide critical mass of support succinct, analytical Results well crafted and measurable; Manageable in terms of capacity to deliver and in terms of numbers of indicators; Your ideas?

5 Strategic Road Planning Map Types of Change Impact Changes in the lives of people Outcome Institutional Change and institutional performance... Behavioural change:, practices (individual level) Output Operational Change: products and services knowledge, skills, capacities

6 Strategic Road Planning Map Results Chain efficiency effectiveness Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes Impact Indicators Assumptions/Risks

7 Strategic Road Planning Map Linkage between HRBA and RBM Outputs capacities of rights holders and duty bearers improved Outcomes behavior/performance of duty bearers in fulfillment of rights improved Impacts Rights are realized

8 Strategic Road Planning Map Typical pitfalls Wordy (..and no change language) To promote equitable economic development and democratic governance in accordance with international norms by strengthening national capacities at all levels and empowering citizens and increasing their participation in decision making processes Too ambitious Strengthened rule of law, equal access to justice and the promotion of rights Containing multiple results The state improves its delivery of services and its protection of rights with the involvement of civil society and in compliance with its international commitments

9 Strategic Road Planning Map Typical pitfalls Wordy (..and no change language) To promote equitable economic development and democratic governance in accordance with international norms by strengthening national capacities at all levels and empowering citizens and increasing their participation in decision making processes Too ambitious Strengthened rule of law, equal access to justice and the promotion of rights Containing multiple results The state improves its delivery of services and its protection of rights with the involvement of civil society and in compliance with its international commitments

10 Strategic Road Planning Map Typical pitfalls Wishy washy, not a result (ie. Support provided to improve..) Support to institutional capacity building for improved governance So general, they could mean anything To promote sustainable development and increase capacity at municipal level Overlapping with National goals/ MDGs (impacts) Substantially reduce the level of poverty and income inequality in accordance with the MDGs and PRSP Confusing means and ends Strengthen the protection of natural resources through the creation of an enabling environment that promotes sound resources management

11 Strategic Road Planning Map Examples of Results Statements At the UNDAF Outcome Level: By 2013, citizens in focus districts have greater access to high quality Emergency Obstetric Care. Government has policies and institutions in place to realize its gender equality commitment. Vulnerable population in food insecure districts have better access to food; Greater access and equity in health services for adolescent and vulnerable groups.

12 Strategic Road Planning Map More Examples At the Output level: Improved human and technical capacity to provide comprehensive Emergency obstetric care by municipal health authorities. Rural medical centers have Emergency Obstetric Care Kits in stock. Strengthened national capacity to develop and implement a human resource development plan for safe motherhood. Increased number of development strategies (PRSP, SWAPs) incorporate gender equality in line with national commitments to women s empowerment (i.e. MDGs), Human Rights and regional human rights commitments.

13 Strategic Road Planning Map Assumption: A Definition A necessary condition for the achievement of results at different levels. Part of the cause effect logic Stated as though it is actually the case Can help identify additional results or outputs

14 Strategic Road Planning Map Risk: A Definition A potential event or occurrence beyond the control of the programme that could adversely affect the achievement of the desired results A threat to success Not just the negative of an assumption A trigger for reconsideration of strategic direction

15 Strategic Road Planning Map Assumptions and Risks Increased standards of living among fishing communities then Rate of fishing is sustainable if if Family & company incomes increase from previous year then and if and if Inflation reduces value of income There is good distribution system Unable to comply with international food regulations

16 Management Aspects Monitoring and annual review at the output level to ensure we making progress toward the outcomes Assessment, MTR (where applicable) and Evaluation at the Outcome level Using good, cost effective practices to leverage government and donor resources Reporting on results not just activities

21 21 3. Strategic Planning 1. Road Map UNDAF Action Plan Key Features: Complements UNDAF with a common operational plan Specifies strategies used to deliver UNDAF results Replaces Country Programme Action Plans It s voluntary

22 22 3. Strategic Planning UNDAF Action Plan Sets out how the UNCT will provide support from all members of the UN family that have a role to play in the country. Brings all UNCT members together under one nationallyowned strategy that draws on the full range of UN expertise. Jointly prepared by the Government and the UNCT by taking national priorities and identifying where the individual skills, assets, knowledge and other UN system resources can best support those priorities Makes the UNDAF operational Can combine both individual agency programmes and joint programmes.

23 23 3. Strategic Planning Outcome Only Option 1a Strategic Focus / Accountability / Concise Format / Validity: Issues to consider No substitute for outputs No substitute for prioritization Risk of disconnected results chain

24 Option 1a Outcome Only + UNDAF Action Plan Transparency Accountability Simplification Coherence Enhanced Monitoring Predictability Issues to consider: Seamless process Commitment to UN coherence Transaction costs Outcome Only + CPAPs This scenario represents the least intensive form of UNCT joint programming Issues to consider: Risk of disconnected results chain: Robust monitoring: Transaction costs:

25 This option represents the conventional format of the UNDAF results matrix Transparency + Accountability Prioritization Transaction Costs CPAPs (or equivalent) Risk of disconnected results chain UNDAF Action Plan Duplication:

26 Should my UNCT consider adopting an UNDAF Action Plan? Is the Government taking the lead in requesting and owning the process? Is the UNCT fully on board and ready to commit agency resources and time to making it happen? Are the Regional Office and/or HQ in the loop and ready to provide the necessary support? Is there adequate capacity in the RC office to manage the transition? Who are the Resident Donors in country? Are there any strong supporters of UN coherence Are there any other in country experiences in coordination which can offer insight

28 28 3. Strategic Planning Common Budgetary Framework Is the financial mechanism that supports the UNDAF Action Plan Creates a holistic financial picture of available and required resources in support of the UNDAF Action Plan Forms the basis of the DaO/One UN Fund by identifying funding gaps and pools supplementary resources in support of the UNDAF Action Plan
