2.3 Guidelines for Preparing a Design and Monitoring Framework

The ADB's Guidelines for Preparing a Design and Monitoring Framework (DMF) provide a step-by-step description of the participatory process for developing a results framework that strengthens country ownership of projects and enhances the likelihood of achieving the desired outcomes. The Project Performance Management System (PPMS) outlines a systematic way of designing and implementing projects. The design and monitoring framework, the key element of the PPMS, is a results-based tool for analyzing, conceptualizing, designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating projects. It structures the project planning process and helps communicate essential information about the project to stakeholders in an efficient, easy-to-read format.
