SECTION NINE: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION (RESULT BASED MANAGEMENT)

Section Nine concerns plan implementation and has six chapters that discuss plan implementation and Result Based Management (RBM), emphasizing the following, among others: (1) the interrelated and iterative nature of various planning stages; (2) the importance of gathering and using relevant data; (3) result chain framework; and adapting the RBM for learning, and monitoring and evaluation. Other aspects of the RBM discussed include, evidence-based decision-making, performance measurement, resource allocation, and reporting and accountability. Examples of how RBM is incorporated into the work cultures of international organizations like the UN, UNESCO, UNFPA, and FAO are also provided. RBM can be used to involve stakeholders and allocate resources effectively based on findings. Also, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems based on RBM can improve accountability, transparency, and measurable outcomes.
