Focus on capacity enhancement
• Policy levels- creating awareness and interests on
results agenda
• Managerial and technical levels- Provide hands-on
practical trainings
• Institutional capacities– Frameworks/ guidelines,
– Hard- wares and soft-wares
– Reliable and usable information for informed decision
making

institutional memory
• Integrate national outcomes to different
hierarchy of organizations (sector vs. ministries)
• Mainstream piloted experiences
• Link managerial and institutional performances
• Link incentives with results
• Commitment, results culture and capacities

and pilot initiatives
• Institutionalization- mandatory legal provisions
• Capacities
