Sources of evidence used by UNDP UNDP uses evidence derived from various sources for results-based management. Using multiple sources of evidence is crucial to capture a comprehensive view of UNDP s performance at global, regional and country levels.

Big picture: What is the IRRF? Integrated Results and Resources Framework (IRRF) The IRRF translates the Strategic Plan into results UNDP Strategic Plan 2014-2017 Integrated Results and Resources Framework (IRRF) The IRRF allows UNDP to Monitor and report on performance and results Hold the organization accountable for the results and resources entrusted to it.

Big picture: IRRF Structure Tier 1 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT Eradication of poverty and significant reduction of inequalities and exclusion Results Framework Impact Integrated Budget Tier 2a DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES 7 development outcomes representing UNDP s global development priorities Outcome Output Programme Tier 2b DEVELOPMENT OUTPUTS 39 development outputs representing results through specific support by UNDP Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency Development Effectiveness UN Development Coordination Tier 3 ORGANISATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY 9 results areas related to making UNDP more effective and efficient Management Special Purpose

IRRF: Key Principles Results in the IRRF are designed to capture development changes that are most relevant to UNDP s contribution. OUTCOMES Development change in UNDP s priority areas achieved as a result of all partners involved, i.e. not limited to UNDP. OUTPUTS Results achieved by national partners for which UNDP has provided specific and direct support, e.g. through the schemes, services, plans, actions etc.

Producing the IRRF: timeline Annual session (Jun 2014) Populated IRRF submitted, with baselines 2013, milestones 2014 and targets 2017. EB Decision 2014/11 requested UNDP to make any necessary adjustments to the IRRF and finalize the maximum number of first and second year milestones and 2017 targets by the first regular session 2015. 2 nd Regular Session (Sep 2013) IRRF submitted EB Decision 2013/12: UNDP to further develop the indicators, baselines, milestones and targets. Annual session (Jun 2015) Annual Report of the Administrator will be submitted with IRRF containing BMTs and 2014 results. 1 st Regular session (Jan 2015) Technical note on Streamlining the UNDP IRRF for informal consultation, with baselines 2013, milestones 2014 and 2015, and targets 2017.

Streamlining Process Simplifying terminologies, disaggregation and rating scales. Removing indicators for which methodologies are yet to be developed, or data collection is premature. Editing indicators to reflect key thematic content of UNDP s contributions, outlined in the Strategic Plan. Ensuring that revised indicators continue to rely on the best available international knowledge, directives, guidance, standards and practices for measuring attributable contributions. Merging indicators under different outputs to eliminate redundancy. Breaking down a complex output indicator into separate indicators to increase robustness of data captured.

Content of the populated IRRF Full development results chain includes impact, outcome and output levels. An integrated framework includes development and organisational results to measure, monitor and report on the relationship between UNDP s development results and organisational effectiveness and efficiency. The results and resources framework sets out the indicative resource envelope and results for the four years of the Strategic Plan. Harmonized indicators with other UN agencies at outcome and output levels, including 10 common QCPR indicators. 2013 baselines, 2014 and 2015 milestones, and 2017 targets are populated. Priority has been given to data disaggregation by sex

Who does what to populate the IRRF? HQ Bureaux with Regional Hubs Translate IRRF indicators into data components Develop methodological notes for indicators Training, technical support, data analysis and quality assurance Develop corporate system to capture data Populated IRRF Country Offices and HQ Bureaux Link country results with the SP results Identify indicators to report Set baselines, milestones and targets (BMTs)

Target Setting Principles: Outcome Level Outcome indicators enable UNDP to analyse progress against the Theories of Change, in order to adjust planned UNDP contributions (outputs) as needed. TYPE 1: Indicators that track internationally-agreed development targets E.g. Indicator 4.4: Proportion of decision making positions (executive, legislative and judicial) occupied by women at national and sub-national levels - 30% by 2017 (based on ECOSOC target) TYPE 2: Indicators that track expected direction of travel, based on past trends E.g. Indicator 6.4: Percentage of (monetary equivalent) benefits from temporary employment / productive livelihoods options in the context of early economic recovery programmes received by women and girls (UNSC 1325 - led by UNDP & UN Women) 40% by 2017 (UNDP estimate) TYPE 3: Indicators that are tracked but no targets are set, as it is not possible to set a credible target E.g. Indicator 3.3: Access to justice services

Monitoring Principles: Output Level Evidence is gathered through programme and project monitoring, and must be objectively verifiable and come from a credible data source. Monitoring: tracks only results that are specifically supported by UNDP based on national demand. Baselines, milestones and targets (BMTs) are generated from aggregate data provided by country offices for countries where results are expected, based on ongoing and planned projects/programmes, during the period of the Strategic Plan. BMTs evolve to reflect closing of existing projects/programmes and starting of new ones. Qualitative indicators use internal methodologies (objective rating scales) to track whether UNDP s support is directly contributing to desired results. Results captured represent the sub-set of UNDP results that are being measured through indicators, and not the entire set of results achieved. Resources, on the other hand, are captured in totality.
