2025 icipe Results Based management Framework iv INTRODUCTION This 2021–2025 Results Based Management (RBM) is based on the Centre’s new Vision and Strategy 2021 – 2025 publication - http://www.icipe.org/publications/corporate- publications/vision-and-strategy - which builds on the Centre’s achievements and experiences and incorporates the recommendations of the icipe Periodic External Review (IPER) held in 2018 - http://www.icipe.org/publications/corporate-publications. The IPER was expansive in its endorsement of what icipe has achieved from its research and development (R&D) outcomes and longstanding commitment to capacity building. The reviewers commended the Centre’s management and administration and recognized the quality and dedication of its research, capacity building, and support teams. The Centre aims to build on this track record for implementing the new Vision and Strategy. This Results-Based Management (RBM) framework is developed for effective and ambitious deployment of icipe’s research for development (R4D) capability to mitigate the health, food security and environmental risks faced by people in Africa. It describes how the Centre will explore opportunities for new enterprises that are based on insects and their products and advance discoveries that enable safer and more sustainable solutions to control pests and diseases using new and emerging science disciplines that icipe has at hand. To closely monitor icipe’s RBM, in 2018, icipe institutionalized its Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) Strategy. The PMEL Strategy was developed to upgrade icipe’s existing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. The PMEL Strategy provides a framework to guide the prioritization and selection of interventions requiring evaluation and proposes criteria for selecting evaluation designs, methods, and tools. Established in 1970, icipe entered its second 50 years of service as Africa’s principal insect and arthropod research institute, in 2020, with the continuing goal of applying the best possible science to overcome the challenges in food and nutrition security, human and environmental health, and capacity building that face the continent’s rural and urban communities. icipe adopted RBM as a project planning and monitoring tool in 2011 and has had RBM framework covering the implementation periods of 2011 to 2013; and 2014 to 2020 - http://www.icipe.org/publications/corporate-publications/results-based-management. These two phases have provided evidence and lessons as an input to implementing the current 2021 – 2025 RBM framework and has offered useful insights for increasing the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of icipe’s further RBM iteration. RBM is first a management system and second, a progress reporting system. RBM is a life-cycle approach to management that integrates strategy, people, resources, processes, and measurements to improve decision-making, transparency, and accountability. RBM is essential for icipe’s senior management to exercise sound stewardship in compliance with acceptable performance and accountability standards. The RBM framework helps to track Centre level achievements. The modern management insists that programs define expected results, focus attention on result achievement, measure performance regularly and objectively, learn from performance information, and adjust to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Ongoing developments in information and communications technology (ICT) have made integrated management information systems possible, opening the door to capturing and processing large amounts of quantitative financial and output data, while analysing it in relationship to qualitative outcome data. RBM is clearly an evolution in management and not a revolution, with origins firmly rooted in the management sciences. These trends
