Preface

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is focusing efforts to promote managing for development results (MfDR) in three key results areas: (i) improved support for MfDR capacity building in developing member countries (DMCs), (ii) increased results orientation in managing ADBs operations, and (iii) sustained collaboration with development partners to share MfDR knowledge.

ADB recognizes that a robust public sector is among the primary drivers to deliver and sustain high-quality results (impact, outcomes, and outputs) at the country and sector levels. Strengthening the public sectors ability to effectively deliver goods and services therefore supports efforts to achieve national goals. Recognizing this, ADB established the Asia-Pacific Community of Practice (APCoP) on MfDR in 2006. APCoPs primary aim is to develop government officials as MfDR change agents to mainstream results-based approaches into public sector management (PSM). As of 2012, APCoP consists of more than 700 senior government officials and public policy experts.

Following demand from APCoP members for a common platform to engage discussion on how to strengthen the results orientation of PSM, the Framework for Results-Based Public Sector Management (Framework) was developed. This drew on 5 years of consultations with public sector practitioners, experts, academics, and partner institutions. The Framework also provides a common platform for ADB operations staff to dialogue with DMCs on results. ADBs Independent Evaluation Department, in their 2011 special evaluation study on MfDR, recognized the utility of the APCoP Framework to enhance sector and thematic assessments to identify capacity development needs.

This guide is intended to be used by staff to recognize the importance of PSM to the delivery of results in ADB sector operations. It shows how the results features of the framework can be integrated into ADBs business processesin particular the country level sector assessments. This rapid assessment guide complements the existing guidelines for Implementing ADBs Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan (GACAP II). The guide draws on the framework to incorporate principle-based questions to determine the results orientation of PSM at the country, sector, and institutional levels. The findings of the assessment will inform the various diagnostics associated with the formulation of country partnership strategies (CPS). The guide is a work in progress and will be strengthened through the experience gained from its application at the country level.

Introduction

What is public sector management?

Public sector management (PSM) refers to how governments manage the different components or functions of the public sector to deliver national results. Planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation embody the core components of management, and when translated into country context, they can be referred to as the core components of PSM. These functions are carried out simultaneously at various levels of government the central level, line agencies, and subnational levels. At the central level of government these functions are often also institutionalized. For example, national planning is undertaken by the Ministry of Planning and budgeting is done by the Ministry of Finance.

Why is results-based public sector management important?

Results-based PSM recognizes that to achieve optimal development results, planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation must exhibit results features and be coordinated for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Development results must be planned for, resources must be allocated, and intended activities must be implemented. Monitoring and evaluating the final outputs are vital to ensure that results are delivered and lessons are learned for future improvement.

The APCoP Framework for Results-Based Public Sector Management).

Integrating a results focus in PSM is critical to accelerated development in the face of fiscal constraints. Identifying gaps and constraints in public sector capacities, systems, and processes is the basis for formulating initiatives, actions, and mitigation measures to improve results delivery.
