Role players All levels and spheres of government Regulatory and statistical bodies Private Sector e.g. PPP Development Finance institutions-DBSA Civil society-third sector

DBSA Monitoring &Evaluation Framework Results – based Strategic Alignment Total and Incremental effects Aggregate and Disaggregate Verifiable and Attribution

M&E Indicators and Benchmarks MDG Paris Declaration Regional (Indicative )Frameworks Macro-National development Indicators Sector Specific Indicators Macro indicators are basically cross-cutting and mission critical indicators for the Bank

Results – Based Management Framework DEVELOPMENT RESULTS CHAIN IMPACT OUTPUT OUTCOME INPUT e.g. funds people trained Jobs created Improved lives Monitoring Intermediate indicators Secondary Data Sources Evaluation Final indicators Primary sources of data Impact is a long-term /delayed effect of project The relation between impact and outcome is not linear Outcome is short/medium term effect and represent effectiveness

Indicators at Sector Level Outputs Outcomes & impacts Installed capacity Distribution coverage Energy mix Revenue/ surplus Capacity utilized Access to energy Consumption Avg. cost to customer Energy Roads constructed Roads operated & maintained Traffic management Driver education Vehicle use / density Journey times Safety Transport share of GDP Transport Number and value of tourism projects supported Hotel/lodges and tourism sites financed Number, value of tourism infrastructure installed Contribution to National Income Number of arrivals per annum Number of jobs created Tourism Installed capacity Distribution coverage Mix of sources Functionality of the system Capacity utilized Levels of service Avg. cost to customer Accessibility of service Water

Shift of Emphasis Future Current Best practice Lessons Learned Cluster or portfolio evaluation Development outcome and impact evaluation Ex-ante assessment (Formative Evaluation) Joint evaluations Private sector operations Quality of reports Demand led Current Lessons Learned Stand alone project intervention Process and output evaluation Ex-post assessment (Summative evaluation) Individual evaluations Public sector operations Quantity of reports Supply driven

How far can R1 Million of Investment go Services & Connections AVG. COSTS Electricity: 278-323 Water: 235-267 Roads: 1.2 km (tarred) Jobs: 22 R3 100-R3 600 R3 500-R4 500 R1 000 000

Project Effects and Externalities Macro Level Sector Level Project Level

Challenges Aligning of development indicators to that of key stakeholders Linking development results to Organizational performance Measuring Private sector operations development impact Assessing impact of knowledge activities

Towards integrated approaches Make client/portfolio the unit of analysis Focus planning/origination/programming Understand business and planning cycles Time horizon must move from 1 to 3 years Manage strategy context and not process Priorities data and info quality.

Expand tools and Approaches Regular customer surveys Citizens Score cards Public Expenditure tracking surveys Multiple deprivation inedxes Macro economic models
