Case Studies
Organization

Cambodia and Mongolia have completed a number of diagnostic case studies that illustrate different aspects of RBM. Check out these case experiences which focus on Organization.

• Structures and accountability
  RBM relies upon having clear statements and chain of accountability. Job holders know what is to be achieved, how they will be measured and who they are accountable to. In Mongolia, performance agreements have been developed between political appointees - Minister to Governors and also between Minister and the department and provincial and district units. This case shows what is currently happening.



• Education congress
  Education involves many people at all levels from schools to central ministry. With so many involved, it is important that there are effective means of building an RBM culture that includes developing and communicating plans and targets and reviewing past results. Cambodia do this through their annual education congress. Read this case study for more information.



• Cooperation between Ministries
  There is often a lack of cooperation and understanding between the Education ministry and the Finance Ministry with the result that education initiatives are frustrated and suspicions arise that scarce funds are being wasted. Cambodia have avoided this situation by establishing a joint committee to promote understanding and cooperation. Read this case study to find out how the committee works.



• Provincial capacity to evaluate quality
  A major challenge for education officials is how to measure education quality and ensuring provincial educational units have the capacity to advise upon and assess quality performance. This case study from Mongolia examines this issue.



• Donor - Ministry planning and monitoring arrangements
  In many countries, efforts to improve education have taken place with little coordination between donors and with the Ministry under pressure to implement initiatives advocated by each donor. This case study from Cambodia shows how these problems are avoided and ensures results and resources are aligned.
