Adopting results based management in the non-profit sector: Trócaire’s experience

Abstract

The increasing emphasis on aid effectiveness, accountability and   impact measurement in international development and humanitarian work has generated a requirement for high quality internal systems for the management of programmes. To help to address this requirement, Trocaire adopted Results Based Management in the 20 countries in which it works. This paper provides an overview of Trocaire’s RBM journey, including the process of embedding the new approach in the organisation, lessons learnt from this process, the subsequent benefits that are emerging at field programme level and the challenges going forward.
