Menarid: Fourth learning workshop
1. MENARID Fourth Learning Workshop
Presentation by Dr. Lamia Mansour
Independent Consultant
18 June 2014, Beirut
2. Objective of the presentation
Present strategies to support Results Based
Management of M&E systems for Integrated
Natural Resources Management projects
Identify modalities to maintain the
MENARID platform
3. Structure of the presentation
1. Key principles of Results Based Management
2. Key principles of M&E systems within RBM
3. Status of M&E systems of MENARID projects
4. Brief description of MENARID M&E platform
5. Modalities to maintain MENARID M&E
platform
4. Results-Based Management (RBM)
RBM is a management strategy by which all actors,
contributing directly or indirectly to achieving a set
of results, ensure that their processes, products and
services contribute to the achievement of desired
results at the level of the outputs, outcomes and
higher level goals or impact.
(OECD, 2002).
5. Results-Based Management (RBM)
In June 2007, the first year of GEF-4, the GEF
Council approved a RBM framework. The RBM
framework was built on the strategic programming
for GEF-4 focal area strategies and their associated
indicators
6. Results-Based Management (RBM)
Results Chain in the context of RBM
A results chain links actions and activities
implemented by projects to the targets of projects,
i.e., their results. The results chain essentially tells us
what stakeholders want to achieve, why they want to
achieve it and how they will go about it.
8. Results-Based Management (RBM)
RBM life-cycle approach
Planning, monitoring and evaluation come together
as RBM. RBM is defined as a broad management
strategy aimed at achieving improved performance
and demonstrable results. This ongoing process of
doing, learning and improving. RBM is concerned
with learning, risk management and accountability.
10. Results-Based Management (RBM)
M&E within the RBM approach
A monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system must be
in place that can assess how the project is
performing with respect to expected outputs,
outcomes and impact
11. M&E within the RBM : SMART indicators
Specific: Is the indicator specific enough to measure
progress towards the results?
Measurable: Is the indicator a reliable and clear
measure of results?
Attainable: Are the results in which the indicator
seeks to chart progress realistic?
Relevant: Is the indicator relevant to the intended
outputs and outcomes?
Time-bound: Are data available at reasonable cost
and effort?
12. M&E within the RBM : An Example
Level of Result Indicator
Goal/Objective: Sustainable
Land Management in Region
X
Increased vegetation cover
Reduction in soil loss
Stabilization of groundwater
table
Outcome: Reduction of land
degradation in target
Agricultural Areas
Increased productivity of
agricultural land
Output: Good Agricultural
Practices are adopted
Surface area of land adopting
GAP (CA, IPM, drip
irrigation)
13. Status of M&E in MENARID projects
Brief overview of MENARID projects:
10 Projects
3 Agencies: IFAD, UNDP, UNEP, WB
3 Countries: Algeria, Iran, Jordan, Morocco,
Tunisia, Yemen and one Regional project
14. Status of M&E in MENARID projects
Long Duration: August 2008 - December 2018
Most MENARID projects have been initiated
between 2008 and 2010, with the exception of two
projects which were initiated in 2013
The majority of the MENARID projects will be
completed by 2015 for the exception of the 2 late
starters which will be will continue till 2018-2019
Multitude of GEF Operational Programmes:
LD, IW, BD1, BD2, ACC
15. Status of M&E in MENARID projects
Project planning, M&E and Reporting
1. Agencies requirements:
AWP, Annual reports and quarterly reports, RIMS
(for IFAD)
2. GEF requirements:
Project Implementation Report (PIR)
Tracking Tool: LDTT, IWTT, METT ( BD1), BDTT(
BD2), ACCTT
16. Status of M&E in MENARID projects
Most projects seem to respond to the agencies
requirements and are ready to share the agencies
annual reports for external review
Most projects have not used the GEF PIRs and
Tracking Tools as a basis for M&E and accordingly
did not share PIRs and Tracking Tools for external
review
In the case of IFAD/MENARID projects, special
support was deployed to respond to GEF
requirements through integrating Results Indicators
in the PIRs and establishing the Tracking Tools
(LDTT and IWTT)
17. Status of M&E in MENARID projects
3. Requirements of the ICARDA-MENARID
project for aligned M&E functions
M&E Platform (MENARID GATEWAY)
M&E Matrix developed by ICARDA in close
collaboration with the projects and include a list of
indicators
On-line M&E platform based on the M&E Matrix
Training activities were conducted to support the
use of the M&E platform
18. M&E Platform (MENARID GATEWAY)
Typology of indicators of the M&E Matrix/Platform:
Goal: The economic and social well-being of the targeted communities
improved through the promotion of Integrated Natural Resources
Management in the MENA region and the restoration of ecosystem
functions and productivity

levels- technical assistance and investments coordinated and harmonized
Component 2.1: Enabling environments for INRM-technical assistance
and investments mainstreamed and promoted in climate change
