Rather than focusing programme/project management efforts on the monitoring of inputs, activities and processes, an RBM approach concentrates on ‘results’ and places emphasis on the following dimensions:

• Defining realistic results based on appropriate analysis and context;

• Clearly identifying programme beneficiaries and designing programmes/projects that meet their needs and priorities;

• Using results information to make effective management decisions;

• Monitoring the progress made towards expected results with the use of appropriate indicators. (Baastel)
