CMI Recognized Results-Based Management (RBM)

Program Overview

Results-based management shifts the focus of programs and organizations from activities and spending to the outcomes and impact they achieve. This course covers the RBM approach used by governments, development agencies and international organizations: theory of change, the results chain from inputs to impact, logical framework design, SMART indicators with baselines and targets, monitoring systems, evaluation, and using results information for budgeting and decision-making. Applications include government performance programs and national vision initiatives in the Gulf, as well as donor-funded and corporate social responsibility programs.
