Post-event Statement

Background

Developing member countries (DMCs) in the Asia Pacific region have initiated new approaches to enhance their governance and strengthen their focus on development results. ADB has been assisting DMC governments to improve their development planning and project and program implementation, including the adoption of results-based management (RBM) approaches.

In order to achieve better results, the governments will need to put more emphasis on

• planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation;
• linkages between budget allocations and output performance and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework;
• institutional and human resource development for adopting RBM;
• incentives and ownership;
• Millennium Development Goals indicators and targets for measuring performance; and
• key results areas at the macro, sector, local area, institution and project levels.

This workshop will focus on the DMCs' experiences in implementing RBM.
