Enhancing Results based management and building an M&E system
Background
The Inter-Parliamentary Union is the world organization of Parliaments which currently brings together 178 parliaments. It works for a world where every voice counts and where democracy and parliaments deliver on the needs of the people. A political organization by nature, the IPU also implements programmes to advance democracy though stronger parliaments.
Results based management was introduced at the IPU in parallel with the adoption of the 2012-2017 IPU Strategy on Better Parliaments, Stronger Democracies. Stronger planning, implementation and monitoring of projects, and feeding back learning, have proved useful for achieving and better assessing results. Parliaments are however unique and complex institutions because of their political nature. Work in the area of parliamentary and democracy assistance requires regularly adapting or developing management approaches and tools that meet the specificities of such interventions.
Five years after the implementation of RBM, the IPU has engaged in a review of current practice, to take stock of the situation, identify strengths and weaknesses, with a view to enhance RBM and monitoring and evaluation within the organization and ensure that IPU processes are adaptive and encourage learning.
Objective
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is currently carrying out an internal exercise to enhance its results based management and monitor and evaluation processes and capacities.
The objective was identified as a key priority for 2018 by the IPU; it also builds on the results and recommendations of a 2017 external evaluation of IPU’s Gender Partnership and Technical Cooperation programmes. The review exercise is carried out under the supervision of the IPU Secretary General and senior management, led by the Division of Programmes and will involve all staff.
