implementation

3. Relevance

 Preparation
o Developing project schedule and time frame
o Allocating required resources
 Implementation stage
o Monitoring and control
o Quality assurance
 Completion stage
o Evaluation

not?

6. Result

Result means the output, production
or outcomes/effect achieved from
the implementation of any
programme.
-(NPC, 2010, Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation
Guidelines 2067/2010)

8. Results Framework
 A results framework represents the
underlying logic that explains how the
development objective of a project is to be
achieved.
 It is an explicit articulation (graphic display,
matrix, or summary) of the different levels
or chains of results expected from a
particular intervention - project, program,
or development strategy (WB, 2012).

9. Logics in Result Frameworks
10% increase in the no. of primary level
students continuing on to high school with
in 3 years
Improve reading proficiency among
students in primary level by 20% within 3
years
500 primary level students with low
reading proficiency complete a reading
summer camp (100 students * 5 groups)

15. Managing for Development
Results
 An alternative “change management” approach
that focuses on the whole results chain (ADB, 2012).
 It is about
o defining outcomes and outputs with
measurable indicators and time-bound targets;
o allocating resources for activities;
o implementing activities and monitoring
progress and targets; and
o evaluating performance against targets.

19. Appraising Result Framework
19
 Case (Emergency Earthquake Assistance Project_Design
and Monitoring Framework)
 Individual work (15 min):
o Is there any hierarchy of change in design? If yes, are
they measurable? How sure are you in achieving results?
 Group Work (15 Min):
o Discuss in group and consolidate the findings
o Identify the key issues in project planning and
implementation
 Presentation (7 min for each group)

20. Issues: Project Planning and
Implementation
20
 Procurement Management
 Financial Management
 Safeguards (Social and Environmental)
 Engagement Strategy
 Economy - compares physical inputs with their costs
 Efficiency - compares outputs with their costs
 Quality/excellence -- compares quality of outputs
to technical standards
 Sustainability and Relevance -- relates project-level
objectives to broader country or agency goals

21. 21
 Inclusion
 Focusing the dialogue on results at all
phases of the development process
 Aligning programming, monitoring and
evaluation with results
 Keeping measurement and reporting simple
 Managing for, not by results; and
 Using results information for learning and
decision-making

Implementation
