statements have been provided in Chapter 2.
It is critical that all project stakeholders share a

common vision of the purpose of the project or
programme.
What Do We Mean by Results?
A result is a describable or measurable development

change resulting from a cause and effect
relationship. RBM is a philosophy, an approach, to
help individuals plan and manage for changes in the
short-term, medium-term and long-term.
Development results involve changes in power
relations, how resources are distributed,
improvements in the well-being of a local population,
or organization, changes in attitudes and behaviours
of people, among other things. RBM seeks to
capture changes that occur in the short, medium
and long-term.
At times it may take many years of programming to

show specific results or changes, especially at the

The Difference between Activities

and Outputs (Short-term Results)
Activities and outputs are often confused. Activities are actions to be undertaken within the
scope of the project. Completed activities are not outputs. Outputs are actually the
short-term effects of completed activities.
For example, training is usually called an activity. The output identifies the new skill or
ability that has resulted from the training.
- 13 -

Activities should be determined by the results you hope to achieve in the short-term,
medium-term and long-term. It is important that your project be driven by results and not
activities.
Beneficiary Reach
Beneficiary Reach is the overarching term that

includes all individuals and groups or
organizations benefiting either directly or
indirectly from a CIDA-funded project or
programme. CIDA distinguishes between
direct beneficiaries and indirect beneficiaries.
- 14 -
Direct Beneficiaries are those populations, groups or organizations which are within the
immediate reach of a CIDA-funded programme or project which are expected to benefit at the
output and outcome levels.
Indirect beneficiaries are those populations, groups or organizations who will indirectly benefit
from the project and are outside the immediate reach of a given CIDA-funded project or
programme, yet are expected to benefit at the impact level.
Beneficiary reach usually varies for each level of result. In general, at the output level, the
beneficiary reach is more limited and confined to those affected by the activities undertaken.
Over time, however, the effects of outputs usually widen to involve the community, institutions
or organizations.
An organization can be a direct or indirect beneficiary of a project. The term organization can
describe any of the following: government organizations at the municipal, sub-national, regional,
national, or supranational levels (more than one country); community-based NGOs;
sub-national NGOs; national NGOs; international NGOs; and other civil society organizations
working at the municipal, national, regional and supranational levels.
Whenever possible it is important to identify the sex of the project beneficiary as male, female,
girl or boy. The identification of the locality of the beneficiary is also important in terms of rural,
urban, or peri-urban.
As much information as possible should be used to describe beneficiaries and could include the
following: food insecure; disabled; homeless; indigenous populations; internally displaced
people; landless; minority ethnic/religious groups; out-of-school children; the poor; refugees;
unemployed; victims of conflict; victims of natural disaster; and victims of human disaster.
Identifying the direct and indirect beneficiaries of a project helps guide the design and
implementation of a project or programme since it helps concentrate resources on those
activities that are directly in support of the planned results. There are normally many activities
a project could support and the use of beneficiaries helps focus resources to achieve planned
results.
Beneficiary information can often be obtained from other organizations or donors working in a
project or programme area. At times, costs may be incurred in developing beneficiary
information, however modest and low-cost methods should be utilized. Local NGOs can
normally be trained to develop and update this type of information at a very reasonable cost.

2. Gender Analysis. All CIDA projects are expected to undertake a gender

- 16 -
shed light on the division of labour, the access to and control of resources and factors that
influence participation by women and men and thus the achievement of results. A gender
strategy undertaken as a result of an indepth analysis should lead to more effective
development interventions by addressing inequities revealed in the analysis. Moving the
analysis beyond a “head count” (i.e. # of women or men participating) is critical to ensuring that
both expected results and indicators are truly gender-sensitive and address the concerns,
priorities or needs of both women and men, boys and girls adequately.
3. Resources. The level of resources will also impact on the depth of

change and what can realistically be achieved in a given time period. These
resources include both financial and in-kind support such as professional
resources, labour or infrastructure contributed to a project.
4. Local Capacity of individuals, organizations and institutions to organize,

strategize, manage and to question is also critical in shaping development
results. What are the skills, leadership, decision-making processes and
management capacity that exist and can be harnessed on behalf of the programme
or project? Where there is inadequate capacity, does the project support and help
local stakeholders to establish, own and implement the project strategy and expected
results? What capacity is there in the organization or community to work toward
gender equality?
5. Stakeholder Involvement. Programmes and projects usually involve and affect

a wide range of stakeholders such as government, local intermediaries such as
NGOs, community organizations and/or the local population.
Involving only one stakeholder group in the definition of results will
likely give only one perspective of what the project can hope to
accomplish. Undertaking a stakeholder analysis early in the project
and ensuring the participation of a cross-section of female and male
stakeholders can contribute to more realistic development results.
The following section of the Handbook provides some tools and
methods that can be used to involve stakeholders.
6. Timetable. The results chain must identify outputs and outcomes that are achievable during
the project’s lifetime. Impact, however, may only be visible after the project’s completion.

- 18 -
As the contribution of all key stakeholders is critical to an appropriate definition of the expected
results, the process of defining and validating result statements should be as participatory as
possible. This may involve some of the following activities, implemented during the project’s life
cycle:
1. Project Design: the organization of a series of workshops involving a cross-section of

female and male stakeholders to initially flesh out the project design, preliminary results and
indicators;
2. Project Planning: another round of consultations with stakeholders and local experts could
be carried out to finalize the result statements, indicators and performance monitoring plan and
ensure that all project partners share accountability for their achievement;
3. Project Implementation: mechanisms such as regular project reviews and participatory

monitoring assist in ensuring that expected results and indicators are still relevant, and to
modify them if needed. Managing for results may require adjustments in your strategies,
activities or even anticipated results.
Participatory Methods and Tools
Over the past few years, we have witnessed a number

of innovative approaches, tools and methods that seek
to give a voice to the poor, local communities and local
governments in planning and implementing their
projects. Selecting results and indicators is an
important part of this process.
While commonly referred to as Participatory

Development this may include any of the following specific approaches such as Participatory
Rural Appraisals (PRA) or Participatory Learning and Action (PLA), Beneficiary Assessments,
ZOPP, Appreciative Inquiry, and other qualitative methods aimed at stimulating learning,
reflection, commitment and action on the part of stakeholders.3

1.3. Measuring and Monitoring Results
It is critical for people, organizations, programmes or projects to be able to assess whether or

not their efforts are achieving anticipated results. An overall performance measurement
framework or monitoring system is the first step in measuring results. Indicators help us
measure whether or not results are being achieved. Baseline data give us our starting point
from which to measure that change. Monitoring is the planned systematic process to assess
the status of planned versus actual results and all associated factors.
There are many instances when several donor agencies are active in one given sector or
community thus raising issues related to the attribution of results. If possible, monitoring and
evaluation should endeavor to identify CIDA’s contribution to the specific results stated in the
CIDA project or programme. In that respect, baseline data collected on the basis of key
indicators will help in providing a starting point from which to assess this contribution.

Essential elements of a Performance Measurement Framework include:
Results: What will be achieved in the short, medium and long-term?
Indicators: Evidence that helps you to measure progress toward achieving results.
- 22 -
Sources of Information: Individuals, organizations, documents or reports from which the
data is obtained.
Data Collection Methods and Techniques: What methods and techniques will you use to
measure your results? Examples include: semi-structured interviewing, testimonials,
mapping, trend analysis, focus groups, surveys, PRA techniques, monitoring reports etc...
Frequency: How often will you collect information? It should

be noted that projects just beginning will focus monitoring more
on activities since it may be too early to monitor for results. As
the project progresses, however, reater emphasis should be
placed on monitoring the achievement of short-term results or
outputs, medium-term results and/or outcomes. As results at
the outcome and impact level take much longer to achieve, it
may only be possible to monitor them once a year after the first
year of project implementation. Is this the Purpose of a
Performance Measurement
Responsibility: Who will actually do the work or be responsible Framework?
for collecting the information?
The Performance Measurement Framework is best defined through multistakeholder

workshops. It is critical to include all direct beneficiaries in this discussion so that the
Performance Measurement Framework and indicators in particular reflect as closely as
possible the results they are trying to measure. This will be a good opportunity to determine
the existing capacity for the collection and analysis of results-based information and to
identify areas requiring strengthening. But the final responsibility for collecting the
information rests with the CEA.

and ethnic

grouping or age. Baseline data allows you to measure progress against the situation that
prevailed before the project’s implementation.
Salient features of baseline data include:

Ÿ Baseline data should be collected at the beginning of the project during the inception
stage by the Executing Agency or local partner;
Ÿ Information can come from secondary sources when available (i.e. it may be collected
from existing publications, research and programme documents published by other
organizations, other donor project databases);
Ÿ The type of baseline data required is determined by the needs and focus of the project;
Ÿ Techniques for data collection may vary and include a variety of informal and formal
survey methods;
Ÿ The cost of collecting modest baseline data should be envisaged in the project budget.
Note that the collection of baseline data should be limited to the specific area where
the CIDA intervention is taking place.
What are Indicators?
An indicator seeks to measure a result, to provide evidence that a result has been achieved or
to provide a signal that progress is being made
towards the achievement of a result. An indicator is a
means of measuring actual results against planned or
expected results in terms of quality, quantity and
timeliness.
Indicators must be directly related to the result they

are measuring. Whenever possible, it is important to
ensure a balance between quantitative and qualitative
indicators to ensure the validity of your findings.
Quantitative vs Qualitative Indicators
In measuring results two types of indicators can be used: quantitative indicators that have a
numerical value and qualitative indicators that reflect perceptions, judgements or attitudes.
- 24 -
Quantitative indicators are measures of quantity such as the number of men and women in
decision-making positions, percentage of boys and girls attending primary school or the level of
income per year by sex as compared to a baseline level.
Qualitative indicators reflect people's judgements,

opinions, perceptions and attitudes of a given situation or
subject. They can include changes in sensitivity; satisfaction;
influence; relevance; awareness; understanding; attitudes;
quality; the perception of usefulness; perceptions of
prospects (for example for stability, growth, or exports); the
application of information or knowledge; the degree of
openness; the quality of participation; the nature of dialogue;
or the sense of well-being.
Qualitative indicators can be obtained in a variety of ways

including the use of focus groups, testimonials, application
of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools or through
semi-structured interviewing and monitoring or field visits.
There are a number of reasons why it is important to use

indicators:
Ÿ To determine progress

results at the output, outcome Indicators Sensitive to Gender, Class, Ethnicity,Age or Race

Ÿ To inform decision-making in Depending on the socio-economic context, it may be critical to

or example, in a governance project, a key result was the greater political participation of
women. A quantitative indicator could be the number of women in decision-making
positions. When this indicator is combined with more qualitative dimensions that seek to
measure women’s influence on decisions taken or their sense of empowerment, this can
give a richer understanding of results achieved.
Keep indicator selection simple. A maximum of three indicators per result, ensuring both a
quantitative and qualitative indicator and one other should be sufficient to measure
progress.

Reporting on Results
CIDA Executing Agencies and partners are required to

report to CIDA on their progress in the achievement of
planned results as well as the implementation of
planned activities on a regular basis. Each CIDA
agreement identifies the specific reporting
requirements for that project or programme. For a
project of five years duration or more, semi-annual
results reporting is considered to be ideal. Projects of
shorter duration require more frequent reporting.
Reporting on results is much more than reporting on

activities. It assesses where we are in comparison to where we planned to be and it is an
opportunity to stop and take stock. Reporting is also a communications tool to stimulate
discussion among project or programme partners. The overall purpose for reporting is to
support the achievement of development results.
- 27 -
Reporting on results is important for the following reasons:
Ÿ focuses stakeholders on planned results;
Ÿ keeps project and programme participants focussed on the logical links between
activities and results;
Ÿ assists in stakeholders’ communicating in a more co-ordinated fashion;
Ÿ forms the basis for developing or adjusting the project/programme workplan for the
coming year;
Ÿ signals if difficulties are being experienced so that decisions can be made in the
refinement of results and the allocation of resources;
Ÿ enhances soundness of project or programme decision-making;
Ÿ provides information regarding lessons learned & better practices and how projects
impact on poverty reduction and CIDA’s cross-cutting themes of gender equality and
environment;
Ÿ allows CIDA to justify to Canadian taxpayers the value of the development work it
funds.

Examples of Results Chains
The following examples of results chains were drawn from CIDA’s three bilateral programme
branches and have been presented using various formats.
The purpose of the examples is to illuminate the many ways that RBM has
been used in varied contexts and types of projects. Readers should note:
w each project is different and shaped and influenced by a myriad of
factors such as the socio-economic context, gender relations, capacity
of local stakeholders, available resources, degree of stakeholder
involvement and commitment, and the programme/project duration;
w the distinction between activities and results;
w the interrelationship between different levels of results from outputs or
short-term
results to outcomes or medium-term results and impact or long-term results;
w indicators seek to measure the achievement of results;
w the project’s beneficiary reach may vary along the results chain depending on who is
involved and who is benefiting.
The project examples are not meant to be a shopping list for results or a
template. To be meaningful, the formulation and definition of results
must be mutually defined, negotiated and agreed upon by all the key
stakeholders of a project or programme. These are specific to each
project. This journey takes time and requires effective communication
and teamwork among various stakeholders.
Methodology for Selecting Projects
The projects were selected using a variety of methods including random sampling, geographical
and sectoral representation, recommendations from CIDA staff and projects that represent
current priorities and programme trends. The projects are arranged under the six ODA
priorities with icons to aid the reader:
1. Basic Human Needs
2. Gender Equality
3. Infrastructure Services
4. Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance
