What is DevResults• DevResult System is an RBM tool we are piloting to

monitor, evaluate and report on results• A web-based project management tool with a strong

focus on performance monitoring and evaluation, and reporting.

• With Devresults one can set up results framework – with definition of indicators to measure and assess progress >> performance measurement

• Systematic monitoring and evaluation is critical for success of any development intervention

DevResults in Humidtropics

Humidtropics has adopted the Result-Based Management (RBM) approach

•RBM is a management strategy (not a tool) that focuses on performance and the achievement of results (outputs, outcomes and impacts)

>> performance management •Provides a logical model for identifying expected results and the inputs including resources and activities needed to accomplish them•RBM puts emphasis on actual results; the outcomes/impacts of projects and programs•Determines appropriate performance measures (indicators) and measurement matrix that allows managers to track progress, measure outcomes, support subsequent evaluation work.•The value generated is the result not what inputs were used.


DevResults in Humidtropics cont…

• Humidtropics, like all CRPs are expected to completely transition to RBM approach.– resources will be tied results – frequent decisions will be made based on results to redirect

investments

• DevResults helps to keep track of results and ensure continuous up-to-date insights into progress made against targets

• Given the multi-partner, multi-project, multi-funding sources and multi-location nature of Humidtropics, DevResults enables data collection and performance tracking from different partners and locations at the same time


The ECA Flagship like other Flagships is mainstreaming the RBM approach through Cluster 4 projects developed by R4DPs and Implemented by IPs• Logic Model

– Situation– Priorities– Inputs– Outputs (activities and

participation)– Outcomes (short-mid-long

terms)– Assumptions– External factors

• Timeline and Milestones– Target– Reporting period

• PMM framework– Activities– Indicators– Means of verification– Data source– Data collection method– Frequency of data collection– Responsibility for data collection


Key features of DevResults:Dashboard

The dashboard gives a program snapshot

•Shows all projects•Financial matrix•Upcoming tasks•Results data visualization•Alerts for ‘overdues’-milestones, overun•Projects by sector, status, funding mechanism•Bookmarking for closer tracking of indicators, activities


View your projects at their locations

• One can view where projects are having impacts geographically

• Layers of specific areas of interest may be added


Collection of results• Allows for

systematic monitoring and collection of results

• Results can be entered directly and or using excel template to be downloaded from the system

• Create customize reports with DevResults, save and share with colleagues

• Present results graphically to show progress


Space for collaborators to share information

• Partners can view calendar and chat

• Space for each activity document library and photos


Other tools to manage your project

• DevResults enables one to view work plan at a glance including milestones, deliverables and calendar events

• Timelines track the Reporting periods, among other tasks
