For now (hopefully I'll stick with it) I'm looking into UNDP, Risk Management and Result Based Management (RBM) and quite possibly to some extent an application of a capability maturity model. So the new player in the picture is RBM. Here is a little insight about it, I quote from Ika and Lytvynov:
RBM as a means to of improving management effectiveness and accountability feeds back into other managerial components to enable better decision-making process.
RBM has two intended uses:
1.
internal use ‘when performance information is used in internal management processes with the aim of improving performance and achieving better results, this is often referred to as managing-for-results. Such actual use of performance information has often been a weakness of performance management in the OECD countries. Too often, government agencies have emphasized performance measurement for external reporting only, with little attention given to putting the performance information to use in internal management decision-making processes.’ (Binnendijk, 2000, p. 7).
2.
external use ‘when performance information is used for reporting to external stakeholder audiences, this is sometimes referred to as accountability-for-results. Government-wide legislation or executive orders often mandate such reporting. Moreover, such reporting can be useful in the competition for funds by convincing a sceptical public or legislature that an agency’s programs produce significant results and provide "value for money". Annual performance reports may be directed to many stakeholders, for example, to ministers, parliament, auditors or other oversight agencies, customers, and the general public.’ (ibid, p. 7).

I realize that there are more and more abbreviations in my posts... so to keep track of them I'll post them here.
