RBM Fundamentals
This is a participatory and team-based approach to programme planning that focuses on achieving measurable change.
What is Results-Based Management?
This tool is used to visually map out the causes and effects of a specific problem.
What is a Problem Tree?
This process involves ongoing tracking of project activities and progress.
What is Monitoring?
This section of an RBM report provides a concise overview of the report's key findings and recommendations.
What is the Executive Summary?
This term describes the changes you hope to bring about for your beneficiaries.
What is Theory of Change?
These objectives provide an overview of the activities you intend to implement.
What are Specific Objectives?
This type of project assessment focuses on why things happened and what difference the project made.
What is Evaluation?
RBM reporting prioritizes these, while regular reporting may focus more on outputs.
What are Outcomes and Impacts?
This illustrates the causal pathway, showing how inputs lead to activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts.
What is a Results Chain?
"If-then" statements are commonly used in this tool to show causal links.
What is a Theory of Change?
These are measurable values demonstrating how effectively a project achieves key objectives.
What are Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?
RBM reporting emphasizes these between project activities and results.
What are Causal Links?
These are the SMART measures used to track progress.
What are Indicators?
This tool describes the key features of a project, including objectives, indicators, and assumptions.
What is a Logframe?
These specify where and how data will be obtained for indicators.
What are Means of Verification?
This is necessary to demonstrate accountability for achieving results.
What is Evidence-Based reporting?
This explains the project's vision, focusing on the overall intent and planned impact.
What is a Goal?
In a Logframe, these are the external factors necessary for project success but outside the project's control.
What are Assumptions?
Using data to inform project adjustments, resource allocation, and strategy development is an example of this.
What is Learning and Adaptation?
In RBM reporting, this demonstrates a project's responsibility for achieving its stated objectives.
What is Accountability for Results?
