What is Results-Based What is Results-Based Management (RBM)?Management (RBM)?
RBM is a management approach RBM is a management approach aimed to improve management aimed to improve management effectiveness and accountability in effectiveness and accountability in achieving results. achieving results.
RBM is focused on chain results: RBM is focused on chain results: output, outcomes, and impact.output, outcomes, and impact.

Key Features of RBM
Focus on:Analyzing problems and determining their causes;Identifying measurable changes (results) to be achieved based on problem analysis;Designing strategies and activities that will lead to these changes (results);Balancing expected results with the
resources available;
