PRACTICAL SEMINAR
Results Based Management (RBM) for
Development Cooperation Projects
Focus on results in the management of your programmes and
projects!
Managers of organisations, programmes and projects funded by multinational, international,
European and national funds need to ensure that they achieve the highest results. On an
international level, the call for results in development cooperation is represented by the Aid
Effectiveness agenda, culminating into the high level conference in Busan. This trend is
supported on a European level through the latest rules for EU Funds in the programming
period 2014-2020 which emphasise the principle of managing for results throughout the
whole project lifespan.
Results orientation in programme and project management means the introduction
of a new management approach on the organisational and intervention level: Results
Based Management (RBM). However, the practical implementation of RBM creates many
difficulties and raises questions:
• How to implement a Results Based Management System in practice?
• What are the advantages of Theory of Change?
• Is it possible to link finance and results directly?
• What are the most suitable tools for achieving results and under what conditions?
Learn about key organisational and interventional aspects which arise when implementing
Results Based Management for programmes and projects at this two-day Practical
Seminar.
