The African Community of Practice on Managing for Development Results

The casebook is now available for download here!

"Strong and effective institutions are fundamental to achieving sustainable development outcomes in Africa. In response to this, members of the African Community of Practice (AfCoP) on Managing for Development Results (MfDR) are striving to make their organizations more performance-oriented. They sought to highlight this new trend towards results-oriented institutions in this new Casebook. The case studies presented here are a snapshot of the transformative work on MfDR that is taking place in Africa today. This publication demonstrates ways to develop effective strategies at the country level.

We hope that this publication will be useful in the daily work of the many results practitioners in Africa who strive to produce measurable outcomes in eradicating poverty. Our optimism has never been higher as we see increasing willingness from governments to put their countries on the MfDR track. Nonetheless, numerous challenges remain numerous and the capacity to manage for development results needs to be strengthened. The AfCoP and its national chapters will surely keep playing a major role in delivering better results for Africa."
