challenges:
The RBSA proposal terminology used does not fully aligned to the results-based management framework (objectives, milestones and outputs versus outcomes, outputs and indicators of change).
success:
The reconstruction of a TOC based on the project documentation, facilitates the assessment of the project’s achievements. It helps illustrate the relationships between results and build a coherent picture of the project’s contribution to SDG progress and linkages to DWCP and P&B.
context:
It is important to find a balance in terms of efficiency and effectiveness when it comes to RBSA project documentation. RBSA projects do not require as much documenting as other development cooperation interventions which makes the project management lighter touch. However, this can be detrimental to the project’s evaluability. RBSA project’s should include key planning elements like a TOC and an M&E framework.
description:
RBSA is a flexible funding mechanism that is well suited to fund activities that contribute to ILO’s ongoing technical support in the country. The level of planning documentation of an RBSA intervention is quite light compared to a regular development cooperation intervention. To improve the evaluability of future RBSA interventions, it would help to have a clearly articulated theory of change with a specific set of progress indicators.
administrative_issues:
RBSA project design should align to the results-based management framework to ensure project evaluability. At the design stage, consider conducting the final evaluation as a part of a wider the DWCP independent evaluation, not separate from it.
