THE CONFERENCE

The International Competence Development Conference on Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Results-Based Management (RBM) is a global platform designed to enhance institutional effectiveness, transparency, and learning through evidence-driven systems and performance management practices.

Under the theme “Strengthening Institutional Performance Through Evidence-Based Planning, Transparent Reporting, and Results-Driven Management,” the conference brings together policymakers, development practitioners, planners, evaluators, and institutional leaders to explore modern frameworks and methodologies that promote measurable results, accountability, and strategic impact.

In an increasingly data-driven world, organizations are under growing pressure to demonstrate the effectiveness of their policies, programs, and projects. This conference focuses on advancing Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems and Results-Based Management (RBM) approaches that align planning, budgeting, and reporting with performance indicators and tangible outcomes.

Through a blend of expert sessions, country case studies, and practical exercises, participants will gain deeper insights into strategic planning, performance tracking, data visualization, and impact assessment. The discussions will also emphasize how transparency, accountability, and adaptive learning contribute to sustainable development, efficient resource allocation, and trust in public institutions.

The International Competence Development Conference on Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Results-Based Management (RBM) aims to empower participants to build resilient institutions capable of designing and implementing programs that deliver real, measurable, and sustainable results for citizens and stakeholders.

By the end of this conference, participants will be able to:

▪ understand the fundamental principles and frameworks of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Results-Based Management (RBM);

▪ design and implement effective M&E systems that support institutional planning and performance improvement;

▪ apply evidence-based approaches to program formulation, resource allocation, and decision-making;

▪ develop and use performance indicators to measure, track, and report on institutional outcomes;

▪ strengthen accountability mechanisms that enhance transparency and credibility in public reporting;

▪ utilize data visualization, dashboards, and analytical tools for performance tracking and evaluation;

▪ integrate results-based management principles into strategic planning, budgeting, and project cycles;

▪ enhance organizational learning through continuous monitoring, adaptive management, and evaluation feedback;

▪ link institutional performance with national and international development priorities, including SDGs and Agenda 2063; and

▪ build institutional culture that values transparency, evidence, and measurable impact in public and development programs.
