• Realization to introduce participation, transparency
and accountability into government work.
• Increasing demand for the delivery of sustainable and
more equitable development.
• Positive changes of New Public Management
movement on some countries in 1980s through greater
accountability in the public sector
• Greater realization for optimum use of limited
resources for achieving greater value for money and
international goals
• Realization among the donors for development
effectiveness
• Result-based planning uses public’s needs and desired
results as the foundation for planning
 Result based planning focuses on the key
questions:
 “How has the planning made a difference?”
 “How are the lives of the general public
better as a result of planning?”
• Focuses more on the results in terms of outcome and impact
of the plan.
• Tries to ensures whether the outcome and impact of the plan
is as per the set medium term goals and long term vision.
• It gives importance to strategy as to how it could be realized
by looking at different options it has and develop policies and
programs to realize the goals and targets.
• It is thus more a strategic planning as against the normal
medium term planning that started from the Communist
Regime in Russia focusing more the material balance.
• It focuses on a medium term goal derived from a clear
vision of the future,
• It proposes a combination of objectives that have been
prioritized by rigorous analysis of the political, social and
economic environment.
• The long-term vision however should be based on a well
documented assessment of the country’s socioeconomic
status and include goals to be achieved in each of the
strategic areas.
• It also needs to respond to the question “How do we want
to get there?”
• Changes focus from HOW to get it done to WHY we do it
• To drive the planning process from people’s need
• Makes us accountable to our client and stakeholders
• Help to demonstrate results:
1. Better implementation
2. Better communication
3. Stronger capacity development
4. More realistic project schedules
5. Useful evaluation results
6. Reducing opportunities and pressures for corruption
• Understand where we are ? – Analysis of the socio-economic status ,
poverty and inequality and the strength and weaknesses of the economy
and the country’s development effort. Finding gaps and strength.
• Clear vision as to what we want to achieve or where we want to reach over
a medium to long term? – Setting up of long term vision and objectives and
targets for the medium term.
• Clear understanding of the path as to how we achieve vision and objectives
? - Choosing options for better strategy to attain the objective/goals and
designing policies and programs to ensure its outcome/output and impact
relating to medium term objectives and long term vision.
• Clear understanding of the resources - both human and capital and
institutional setup to achieve set targets? Analysis of resource potential
and availability, both domestic and foreign, in financing policies and
programs and assessing institutional set ups to carry out plan
implementation.
• Ensure whether we have accomplished the set targets . Designing
monitoring and evaluation system to check implementation process , output
and the quality of work done as envisaged.
• Planning consistency is given top most priority in RBP.
Most often a macro planning model is used for
checking the consistency and analysis.
• Expenditure framework that make consistency in
resource potential and availability in the likely future
situation is also used for the purpose.
• Result Framework is widely used to check the
consistency in the outcome/impact, output and inputs.
• Result based monitoring framework is used for
monitoring and evaluation of the plan and provide feed
back.
Results-based planning process

• Budget aligned

• Linked to planning
• How & who
• Data, reporting
Evaluate results
• How & who
• Dissemination,

Goals
• A result is a desirable change resulting from a
cause-effect relationship (output, outcome and
impact)
• RBM includes
 Defining realistic expected results with proper analysis
 Identifying beneficiaries & design programmes meet
their needs
 Monitoring progress for results using result indicators
 Reporting on results achieved and resources involved
 Identifying and managing risks
 Lessons learning and informed decision making
• Based on causality analysis
• Programme structure based on hierarchy of
desired results
• Identification and use of indicators to measure
progress along the results chain
• Use of change language to formulate results
• Basis for use of results based budgeting
• Formulating SMART results
• Setting targets
• Selecting indicators

• Results
– Longer term results- Impact/outcome
– Outputs that contribute to achieve longer-term
results
• Results Framework/Matrix
A graphic display or matrix form of different levels or
chains of results expected from a particular
intervention- strategy, program or a project.
It helps in management and M&E in the following
ways:
• Helps focus on specific outcomes
• Highlights the key linkages and causalities that
underpins the intervention
• Helps establish an evidence-based approach in
M&E
• Helps measure progress towards strategic objectives
• Helps achieve strategic objectives
