Action Plan on Managing for Development Results (2009-2011)
IV. Implementation
-
Management will be responsible for implementing the MfDR action plan (2009-2011)
and achieving its objectives. In consultation with the vice-presidents,
the managing director general will coordinate and guide the plan's implementation
with support of SPRU. Each vice-president and head of an anchor department,
office, or unit will be accountable for implementing specific actions. ADB's
MfDR focal point network, anchored in SPRU, will play an important role
in sustaining the organizational changes needed to implement the plan successfully.
-
While most of the actions are already budgeted, they will require incremental
staff time and the services of staff consultants in operations departments
and SPD, primarily to mainstream country results monitoring and reporting
and to prepare country development effectiveness. Additional staff time
and the services of staff consultants will be required to support the development
and implementation of plans to communicate MfDR. Considering the plan's
emphasis on country results monitoring and reporting, it is expected that
additional resources will be needed at resident missions, including one
national officer staff-year, 1 person-month of national consulting services
for results monitoring per year, and 1 person-month of international consulting
services for the country briefs. [13] In addition, a one-time
cost of 1 person-month of international consulting services in SPRU will
be required to develop the MfDR communication plan. SPRU will work with
BPMSD on more detailed cost estimates for implementing the action plan.
-
ADB will use the monitoring framework (Appendix
1) to measure the progress of the action plan, make adjustments if necessary,
and report progress annually through the DEfR.
