Scope of Work

BACKGROUND

For many years, the development community has now been working to deliver services and activities and to achieve results in the most effective way. Traditionally, the emphasis was on managing inputs and activities and it has not always been possible to demonstrate these results in a credible way and to the full satisfaction of stakeholders. Concerns of Department Heads are straightforward and legitimate: they want to know what use their resources are being put to and what difference these resources are making to the lives of people. In this line, RBM is highlighted as part of the efforts to work together in a participatory approach to strengthen capacities and to promote accountability of all major stakeholders in the pursuit of results. RBM system aims at responding to these concerns by setting out clear results expected by management for various programme activities, establishing indicators to monitor and assess progress in achieving the expected results and enhancing accountability of persons in charge.
