The challenge
Where they started
A planning department was producing annual workplans that bore little relationship to its strategic objectives, and had no indicators against which to report progress.
Our support
What RIO Center did
RIO Center delivered a consultancy assignment covering institutional assessment, strategic plan development, a performance framework with indicators, and staff training in monitoring and evaluation.
The outcome
What changed
The department now operates against a five-year strategic plan with quarterly indicator reporting, and has used its first year of data to reallocate resources between programmes.
