CPF Results Hierarchy – definitions

CPF result Definition Remarks:

IMPACT

(Contribute)

Contribution that FAO is expected to make towards national priorities – long terms development changes

Derived from Gvt priorities/objectives

OUTCOME3-5

outcomes (Attribute)

Measurable uptake and use of FAOs outputs (products and services) within the CPF time frame.

Challenge: Find ONE indicator to measure change and contribute to higher level indicators

OUTPUTS3 outputs = 1

outcome(Deliver)

Significant and measurable result/ deliverable of FAOs activities in the country

Results chain – country examples

Establishment of Land Information Service

Strengthened national capacity to generate land use data

Land distribution and management practices improved

Sustainable management of natural resources

Activities, Projects

CPF outputs

CPF outcome

CPF impact

SMART

SMART RESULTSSpecific in terms of the nature and scope of achievements and changes sought, the target groups and geographical area etc.;

Measurable: measurable quantitatively and/or qualitatively; data will be available when needed within the time period

Achievable and time-bound in CPF period with the resources available

Relevant to national priorities and FAO’s mandate; substantial, necessary and sufficient

Results matrix and resource mobilization

CPF results matrix will help you:• Define the outcomes and outputs you

aim to engage resource partners on – who may fund a % of the CPF, or wish to see a project packaged around a particular CPF outcome

• The RM target will become clearer – make sure it is realistic!

Ref to CPF guide to see the templates

M&E and Reporting – principles

Principles

Harmonization with the country and UNDAF M&E system to the extent possible

Integration with the FAO corporate monitoring system through the Strategic Framework results chain and

Integration with the FAO project cycle

Strategic Planning in the UNDAFWHAT’S NEW?

• Simplified results matrix that integrates the M&E framework

• Two options of the UNDAF Matrix

• Option to include UNDAF Action Plan, with Common Budgetary Framework

• Option to finance “funding gap” with One UN Fund

Results Matrix – first option

Results Matrix – second option

2. Partnership, values and principles

4. Management and Accountability Arrangements

5. Resources and RMS

6. Communication

7. M&E

8. Commitments of the Government

9. Other provisions

10. UNDAF Action Plan Matrix

WHAT IS AN UNDAF ACTION PLAN?

With second option, UNDAF Action Plan can be prepared.....

The UNDAF Action Plan includes the Common Budgetary Framework and can include One UN Fund

COMMON BUDGETARY FRAMEWORK

ONEFUND

This has implications for FAO’s Resource

Mobilization strategy/action

plan!

Ensure logical link between CPF and UNDAF results: • CPF impact coincides with UNDAF outcomes• CPF outcomes contribute to UNDAF outputs • CPF outputs are incorporated as activities in UNDAF action plan

Apply flexibly, ONE size may not fit all situations

Questions

Group exercise – Review the results matrix of a real case

Working group instructions

• Task 1: Review the extract of the Ethiopia results matrix taking into consideration the following ...

Tips for Group exercise: Quality Assurance criteria

Relevance Alignment and strategic fit (Gvt, UNDAF, FAO SF/ORs/RRs) Comparative advantages and partnership

Feasibility Are the proposed Outcomes achievable and measurable Are the proposed Outputs valid and logically linked,

contributing to CPF outcomes

Sustainability Are the intended Outcomes sustainable (financially,

capacities, etc) Are the risks identified, and mitigation strategies put in

place
