Abstract:
|
The overall focus of this thesis is the analysis of the implementation of RBM in
development organisations of multilateral nature with a focu on M&E systems so as
to further our understanding of the influence these systems have in organisational
effectiveness.
Data has been collected on a primary and secondary basis, respectively through
qualitative interviews with key experts and practitioners and a number of reports
produced by international organisations and relevant stakeholders.
The point of departure has been a literature review on the introduction of RBM in the
public and subsequently the development sector. The review has permitted to
discover the case of UNDP as critical in adjusting its M&E frameworks towards a
results-orientation. UNDP has been considered a critical case enabling for
generalisation, particularly because of the agency’s strong commitment to adopt the
general principles of RBM throughout all its procedures and operations including
M&E. In this respect, UNDP is today positioned as one of the most advanced in its
approach to RBM of all international development agencies. |
