Improving project, program & policy performance in developing countries through Managing for Development Results (pdf 250kb)

The ADB paper uses an evidence-based approach and cites examples that show the application of Managing for Development Results (MfDR) principles can bring about significant improvements in project, program and policy performance.

Managing for Development Results (MfDR) is a management strategy that emerged from the Monterrey Conference on Financing for Development in 2002. It is an approach to the delivery of aid (grants, technical assistance and concessional finance) that aims to produce better development results ("doing the right things an doing them right").

This paper focuses on five key questions:
1. What is 'Managing for Development Results (MfDR)'?
2. What are the conditions for successful adoption of MfDR/
3. Do these conditions apply to developing countries?
4. Does MfDR produce better results in developing countries?
5. What are some emerging challenges in adopting MfDR?
