Dear Dr Aru Rasappan

My greetings


This is a very important question. I think the public sector is a key player. On that basis I have pointed out my ideas. By trying to adhere to changing circumstances a flexible, practical, pragmatic work on regular basis is crucial. For that on going institutionalized dialogues is important. Since the purpose is to support each of our economic strength (by sharing experiences and ideas) I solely believe active participation, involvement and pragmatic role of each of our key public sectors as crucial . Gradually our Community of Practice will become part and parcel of the social system as a whole.

Best regards

Hello all
Dear Dr anu Rasappan, It is a very motivating, interesting and knowledgeable discussion that you raised. And I hope good experience sharing will be heard in this session. by the way many almost all will be very happy to see you around. because your are meant a lot to us.
As you know if private sector has to take a leading role in the economy first the public sector should prepare itself to show the way to achieve the above stated direction and goal so that the private sector will take the lead deeply and lead the economy at the end. To do this i.e help the private sector took the leading role first and for most the public sector should use the MfDR as the good equipment to achieve to the desired ultimate goal as to me. To use and implement the concept and ideology of MfDR we have to first teach the professionals or expertise so that they will convince top management to understand and use the MfDR at the end of the day to achieve easily what MfDR is meant and established for and experience sharing should be given priorities too.
Thank you all

Hi All,

Many thanks for the immediate response to my question. I am in total agreement with what you both have mentioned. Training, capacity-building, and engagement of private sector or development partners in general are all ways to improve MfDR in our countries.

Before I respond, I would like to allow for a few more responses and then I'd like to throw more ideas on this for discussion. In responding to my question, may I suggest that we focus on the more macro approaches or systems that can help to introduce and implement the MfDR within our countries. For example, Country "A" used the Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) system as the main entry door to introduce and implement MfDR in the country. This was instrumental in bringing about a system/countrywide introduction and application of MfDR within the country in the space of only 2 years.

What do you think about this entry "door"? What about other such doors that can lead to successful MfDR implementation? Please note that using the RBB door to introduce MfDR includes a wide range of associated initiatives including training, capacity-building, systems development, networking etc.

Ok, so given the above, please come forth with more feedback, ideas, and suggestions.

Rgds

Hi Aru and Colleagues:
Good to hear from you. It has been a long time since we met in Malaysia. I did not participate for little while myself in the discussions
I was scanning the pieces RE Community of Practice (COP) Conference in Mauritius and was very impressed by the quality of the presentations and added value it brought to the participants. As a Mauritian born (at CIDA, Canada now) I was very proud with the work you have done with the GOMauritius.
Having been an active participant in this type of discussion some years back at the time the Government of Canada (GOC) introduced Result for Candian, we have moved quite a long way and I can see that the concepts such as RBM, PMS and Strategic Review have produced concrete results and looking forward to see the COP moving in the same direction.
I would like to suggest that along with MfDR to introduce the concept of Log frames /logic models as a tool to ensure that results are identified and target are set so that when the time comes for assessment, the results could be measured.

The Office Auditor General of Canada (OAG) has just published her report and has come up with some very interesting findings and recommendation regarding reporting on results. Suggest you have a look at them and I am sure all our colleagues will enjoy reading the document. I think the doc might be available on line.
Warm wishes
Satianan
