CIDARBM @ 2008
Why? What? How?
1010
WHY: International Context
The last 10 years have seen the growth of a consensus and commitment to performance in development
2000 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
2002 Monterrey Conference on Financing for Development
2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness
Managing for Development Results (MfDR) Joint Venture at the OECD/DAC provides a world forum to share lessons and advocate
1111
WHY: Canadian Context
Simultaneously, recent Canadian governments have responded to increased public pressure for government accountability and performance through new standards for stronger accountability and reporting obligations.
2000 Results for Canadians: A Management Framework for the Government of Canada
2005 Management Resources and Results Structure (MRRS)
2006 Federal Accountability Act (FAA)
2008 Bill C293: Official Development Assistance Accountability Act
1212
WHY: CIDA context
The good news:
RBM has been used in CIDA for 30 years in various forms
Lots of RBM info at project level, clearer PAA context
Staff understand need for monitoring/reporting results
CIDA still considered a model by peers for its RBM toolkit (guides, training materials)
The bad news:
RBM application became overly individualized
Project info is fragmented, program-level info is fuzzy
Staff are demanding simpler monitoring/reporting formats
RBM definitions have not been updated, creating confusion, misalignment with GoC and international standards
1313
Therefore:RBM policy update needed to make performance
management more (a) rigorous, (b) modern and (c)
pragmatic: • Standardize and provide better coherence in RBM
terms, definitions and methodology used in across the agency,
• Align RBM at CIDA with Canadian Government approach, and
• Harmonize RBM at CIDA with the International Donor Community
1414
What does this mean?
Common sense in 1996 is still common sense in 2008
The 2008 policy is an update, not a revolution. The essence of the original policy remains valid.
Some definitions have been changed and the basic logic model/results chain has been amended.
1515
WHAT: Documents Currently Approved*
“CIDA’s 2008 RBM Policy Statement” Presentation of The Amended Key Results-
Based Management Terms and Definitions”: a companion document providing the rationale for decisions made to amend the current key RBM terms, definitions and methodology, and presenting amended terms used to develop a results chain.
* On EntreNous but also on external CIDA website
1616
HOW: Phased implementation
Further outreach (via Agency-wide Performance Network, briefings at Field Rep mtgs, BMGs)
Workshops with sector specialists to develop sector/theme-specific tools
Updated RBM guides and tools for CIDA Staff
Updated training for CIDA staff
Engagement with partners (briefings, access to updated training materials, guides and tools tailored to them)
Simultaneously, audit and evaluation functions are being strengthened, which will reinforce RBM.

Results Chain /Logic Model
Actions taken or work performed through which inputs are mobilized to produce outputs.
A change that is expected to logically occur once one or more immediate outcomes have been achieved. In terms of time frame and level, these are medium term outcomes, which are usually
achieved by the end of a project/program and are usually at the change of behaviour/practice level among beneficiaries.
ULTIMATE OUTCOME
INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES
A change that is directly attributable to the outputs of an organization, policy, program or initiative. In terms of time frame and level, these are short-term outcomes and are usually at the level of an
increase in awareness/skills of… or access to… among beneficiaries.
Direct products or services stemming from the activities of an organization, policy, program or
initiative.
The highest-level change that can be reasonably attributed to an organization, policy, program or initiative in a causal manner, and is the consequence of one or more intermediate outcomes. The
ultimate outcome usually represents the raison d'être of an organization, policy, program or initiative and takes the form of a sustainable change of state among beneficiaries
OUTPUTS
ACTIVITIES
INPUTS
IMMEDIATE OUTCOMES
Result: A describable or measurable change in state that is derived from a cause and effect relationship. Results are the same as Outcomes and further qualified as immediate, intermediate or ultimate.
Development Results: Reflect the actual changes in the state of human development that are attributable, at least in part, to a CIDA investment.
