Managing for Development Results at ADB

Action Plan on Managing for Development Results (2009-2011)

Managing for development results is a management approach that focuses on using results information—desired outputs, outcomes, and impact—to steer development efforts toward clearly defined goals. Managing for development results involves the following key phases:

1. strategic planning and resource allocation,
2. selecting indicators and targets (from short to long term) for measuring performance,
3. establishing responsibility and accountability for planned actions,
4. measuring and evaluating performance and results, and
5. using results information to determine actions and resource-use to improve performance.
