Results Based Public Sector Management A Strategic FrameworkIntroduction

Here to represent the perspective of the three CoPs on results. As Rollly would have mentioned this is something that the three CoPs have been working on and an area which is of interest to partner countries,

Does not claim to be new- but the helps to pull together the various themes.1 Public Sector Management (PSM) Results-Based Approaches Capacity Development Benefits of Results Based PSM Communities of Practice on MfDR

Presentation TopicsRole of PSM in delivering results and put it in context

What the key features of results based approaches are ie picture of what Is meant by RB-PSM

What is the implication for capacity development and the messages that the CoPs want to give for future support

Benefits or RB PSM going back to Aid Effectiveness and Development Effectiveness discussion

What is the best way to encourage RBA at a country level.O f course the role of CoPs given limited resources , the need for focus and selectivity, use of country systems and hence sustainability..2PlanAllocate ResourcesImplementMonitorEvaluateNational BudgetImplementationNational MonitoringNational EvaluationMANAGEMENTNational Development PlanSub- National BudgetSub-NationalDevelopment PlanSub-National Program ImplementationSub-NationalPerformance MonitoringSub-NationalPerformance EvaluationSector Development PlanSector BudgetSector Program ImplementationSector Performance MonitoringSector Performance EvaluationPublic Sector Management CyclePublic sector management can be looked at in different dimensions.National/Subnational/sector level/3 Public Sector Management Results-Based Approaches Capacity Development Community of Practice on MfDR Pilots

Entry Point once you have a cyle working that the entry point does not matter. You could for eg look at statitical systems- but if statistical systems are not based on indicators from planning- and resources have not been allocated or the procurement processes do not allow for implementation or the auditng process does not pick up on corruption or more importantly inefficiencies

Transparency does not make it happen, nor does accountability. These are all products of having sound systems.

Use the funds not to build parallel systems but to reduce the risk of exposure to weak country systems- begin a dialogue on what needs to be capactiy developed

MDBs and Bilateral who often use MDB systems often interpret differences as being weaknesses. Schools in remote areaa in Indonesa 3 quotes. ICB no of days that you advertise does that make a difference. Government funds channeling mechanism and an independent contractor using the funds Use of independent auditors.15 Public Sector Management (PSM) Results-Based Approaches Capacity Development Benefits of Results Based PSM Communities of Practice on MfDR

Evidence and Knowledge Sharing for Results Based PSM

These are not success stories but are reemphasising the importance of public secto rmananagement systems more important the results orientation of PSM systems.23Thank You!
