  2. Strategic Planning WorkshopDay Three

  3. Formulating OutputsTangible, deliverable, promises

  4. Outputs are deliverables Operational changes: new skills or abilities, the availability of new products and services Must be achieved within the programme period Managers have a high degree of control  If the result is mostly beyond the control or influence of the programme or project, it cannot be an output Failure to deliver is failure of the programme or project 4 to 6 outputs per agency outcome Unless under a joint programme, outputs are NOT collective results Outputs: Definition & key features

  5. Measuring Outputs Easier to measure than outcomes (tangible!) Indicators or MOV usually coming from existing service data or from routine progress reports Indicators will often be ‘yes-no’ 1 to 4 indicator enough - the fewer the better to reduce costs Promises! (…and a critical insurance policy with donors)

  6. UNDAF Monitoring & Evaluation

  7. Monitoring vs. Evaluation

  8. UNDAF M&E • M&E is key for managing results, but often neglected • M&E plan provides structure – a summary of key indicators, sources of information (incl. responsibilities) and risks & assumptions about expected UN system results • It enhances UNCT accountability for UNDAF results • It requires a final UNDAF evaluation to inform subsequent UNDAF process

  9. UNDAF M&E Plan • Consolidates the M&E activities related to the results expressed in the matrix • Improves strategic focus and prioritisation of M&E activities • Coordinates the timing of each activity for specific users and uses • Reduces duplication and costs of M&E efforts and enables greater synergies in M&E activities • Encourages partnerships and continued strengthening of national M&E capacities

  10. Three Elements of the M&E Plan 1. Text - How the UNCT will monitor the UNDAF: • coordination mechanisms (theme groups, joint field visits, assessments, and activities with partners) • Efforts to strengthen national M&E capacities • A description of risks and assumptions affecting achievement of UNDAF outcomes 2. Table 1 - M&E framework • Indicators, baseline data, target and sources of verification and risks & assumptions 3. Table 2- M&E calendar • “At-a-glance” management tool, noting all M&E activities (surveys, studies, assessments, reviews, capacity building) by year

Combined UNDAF Baseline Survey! Caring practices? Access to Services? UNCT M&E Activities Planning Refs.

  14. UNDAF Evaluation • A joint UN assessment of the results of the UNDAF which determines… 3 key questions: • Did the UNDAF make the best use of the UNCT’s comparative advantages in the country? • Did the UNDAF generate a coherent UNCT response to national priorities? • Did the UNDAF help achieve the selected priorities in the national development framework? …used to informs next UNDAF

  15. Key message We can’t know if we are achieving results, as a system, unless there is effective monitoring and evaluation of the UNDAF, as a system We need: A robust and operational M&E framework

  16. Action Planning

  17. Following this meeting the UNCT will focus on… • Engaging stakeholders with a combination of communication, negotiation and advocacy to gain their support for a set of UNDAF outcomes (consultation process); • Preparing a first draft results and M&E matrix, ensuring that agency results are fully aligned with and contributing to UNDAF results; and • Ratifying the UNDAF with all stakeholders

  18. Support Available for the UNCT • Regional Quality Support & Assurance/Peer Support Group • UN DOCO (GFPs, training and learning support) • UNSSC Training support

  19.
