The Community of Practice on MfDR Begins Online Discussion on Integrated Results-Based Management (IRBM)
The Integrated Results-Based Management (IRBM) system was developed in the late 1990s as a response to the limitations of the Results-Based Management (RBM) approach in linking its various systems--such as budgeting, personnel performance, planning, and policy implementation--thus making the system more dynamic, practical, and comprehensive. The IRBM approach was based on the performance framework first introduced in the Malaysian public sector, and has now been adopted by various other countries in Asia and Africa.

Discussion sub-topics include: Integrated Development Planning and Results-Based Budgeting, Integrated Personnel Performance System under IRBM, and Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation & Management Information System. Reference material on IRBM cases in Asian and African countries are also available. This discussion is open to the public.
