- M&E systems should adopt to the business practices to be effective and efficient
- M&E can influence learning, quality of work and outcome
The document discusses performance budgeting and defining performance in government. It provides definitions for key terms like inputs, outputs, outcomes, and indicators. Performance budgeting aims to create stronger links between resources and results, impact resource allocation decisions using performance information, and produce relevant performance data. Countries use various models of performance budgeting on a spectrum from contractual to program budgeting. The objectives are allocative efficiency, operational efficiency, and fiscal discipline through boosting performance and improving resource allocation decisions.

The document discusses measuring the development results of private sector engagement through development cooperation. It notes that while private sector engagement has increased, evidence of development outcomes is limited. Reasons include providers prioritizing leverage over outcomes, private actors focusing on returns, and complex multi-actor partnerships. The document explores how to improve measuring outcomes by applying a development results lens, learning from existing tools, and ensuring monitoring systems meet stakeholder needs.
The document discusses the various phases of a project life cycle:
1. Project conception phase involves generating project ideas and evaluating them through SWOT analysis and feasibility studies.
2. Project formulation phase involves examining the technical, economic, and financial aspects of selected projects through preliminary and detailed project reports.
3. Project appraisal phase involves critically evaluating projects from various angles such as market, technical, financial, economic, and organizational viability.
4. Project execution phase involves implementing approved projects through activities like engineering designs, contracting, construction, recruitment, and commissioning.
5. Project completion phase involves confirming customer satisfaction, archiving project records, and closing outstanding tasks.

Good Measures: The Case for Quantification in Impact InvestmentPabloVerra
1) Impact measurement and management is important for impact investors to understand their social and environmental performance, improve investment decisions, and avoid "impact washing".
2) There have been several developments in impact measurement standards and tools over the past decade, including the IRIS catalog of metrics, the Operating Principles for Impact Investing, and the DELTA and AIMM frameworks.
3) Recent frameworks like IRIS+ and methods like those from inFocus aim to increase standardization, comparability, and practical guidance for impact investors in how to define goals, select metrics, and manage performance.

Stock Shock - The effect of PPM on share priceYasser Mahmud
- Senior executives are under increasing pressure to deliver strong share price performance and meet ROI forecasts on capital projects. Poor project management can negatively impact profits and share price through cost overruns, delays, and reputational damage.
- Research shows only 11% of companies deliver expected ROI on major projects 90-100% of the time. Case studies of companies like Woodside Petroleum and Greyhound Lines demonstrate how project delays can reduce share prices.
- While anecdotal, practicing good project management through technologies like PPM does not guarantee higher share prices. However, project failures are more likely to result in lower share prices as investors respond negatively to missed deadlines and losses. Successful projects like Emirates Stadium and those

It provides examples of evaluations using these various methods and discusses operational considerations like budget, timing, and choosing the appropriate method. The goal is to help policymakers assess and improve SME interventions to maximize their effectiveness.
This document provides an overview of operations management from a textbook. It defines operations management as the business function responsible for planning, coordinating, and controlling resources to produce products and services. The role of operations management is to transform inputs like people, materials, and money into outputs of goods and services. Operations management makes both strategic and tactical decisions and works closely with other business functions like marketing and finance.
The document provides an overview of the Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring (AIMM) system used by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The AIMM system aims to (1) estimate and monitor the expected development impact of IFC interventions, and (2) help structure systematic impact assessments along two dimensions: project outcomes and market contributions. The AIMM framework provides a structure to identify relevant impact components and indicators for projects. IFC projects are then rated based on their potential development impact scores and the likelihood of achieving those impacts.

Microfinance ratings provide opinions on institutional viability and creditworthiness. They assess risks across governance, operations, financial profile, responsible practices, and the operating environment. Ratings communicate long-term viability and capacity to achieve social goals, while certifications assure best practices in client protection. Ratings use benchmarks and grade performance from excellent to weak based on risk levels. They consider both internal factors like financials and external factors like the operating environment that influence default risk.
