from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Philippines participated

(SHIPDET), which was held at the Asian Pacific Development and Finance Center
(AFDC), Shanghai, PRC. The program was jointly sponsored by the China Ministry
of Finance, World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), and AFDC. This new program
has been proposed to be held twice a year for 3 years, from 2007 to 2009, with
the spring program focusing on Chinese participants and the autumn program focusing
on international participants from the Asia and Pacific region.
Program Attendees
For this first program, the Chinese participants were from the official development
assistance project management divisions of provincial finance bureau, provincial
budget monitoring divisions of Ministry of Finance, and central government agencies,
including the Ministries of Finance, Health, Forest, Water Resource, and Social
Security; the Poverty Reduction Office of the State Council; China Ex-im Bank;
and the State Auditor Administration. The Philippine delegates represented the
National Economic Development Authority and Department of Budget and Management.
Program Components
The program included:
- a 4-day intensive training on the establishment of results-based monitoring
and evaluation (M&E) system;
- a 2-day workshop focused on results-based M&E practice at the national,
sectoral, and project levels; and
- a 2-day field trip and video conference on a real case study of results-based
evaluation in the Zhejiang Multicities Development Project, supported by the
World Bank.
Both ADB and the World Bank contributed a great deal to the training process.
From ADB, Bruce Purdue, Head of the Results Management Unit, gave a presentation
on the global MfDR agenda, while Keith Leonard of the Operations Evaluation
Department gave three presentations on results-based evaluation approaches and
the major findings of ADB TA 4581, Results-Based M&E at the Project Level.
Looking Ahead
Participants of SHIPDET present a results framework
Bruce Purdue emphasized to the AFDC representatives that ADB would certainly
welcome greater collaboration between AFDC and the Community of Practice on
MfDR (CoP-MfDR). AFDC has much to offer in terms of support, as well as a superb
venue for learning and development. He also emphasized, however, that to maximize
the collaboration, AFDC must aspire to become a regional center of excellence
in MfDR learning and development—providing a service in the nature of
a public good for the region.
