UN-Women uses Results-Based Management to drive programme effectiveness, supported by organizational learning and streamlined processes and systems

In 2025, UN Women Rwanda continued to strengthen the use of results-based management (RBM) practices and supporting systems that enable more effective programme implementation, monitoring, and learning. Improvements in operational processes, compliance, performance management, and evaluative functions contributed to an organisation that supports evidence-informed decision-making, accountability for results, and adaptive programme management. The consistent application of corporate planning, monitoring, and performance management processes supported greater alignment between programme delivery and organisational priorities. Full compliance with the Performance Management and Development cycle and the implementation of staff work plans contributed to clearer accountability for roles, timelines, and results. Regular monitoring of operational and financial processes, including month-end closures, partner advances, and contract management, supported timely availability of financial and performance information for management review and follow-up. Organisational learning was reinforced through internal learning sessions, including learning clinics and brownbag discussions, supporting staff understanding of corporate policies, systems, and compliance requirements. Staff engagement in reform-related webinars and change-management forums facilitated by Headquarters and the Regional Office contributed to increased awareness of organisational reforms and their implications for programme delivery and accountability. Evaluation and learning functions further supported the use of evidence to inform programme effectiveness. For instance, completion of data collection and validation of preliminary findings for the JP-RWEE Mid-Term Review, contributed to the generation of timely evidence on implementation progress, coordination, and emerging results. These processes support learning, reflection, and the identification of adjustments to strengthen programme delivery during the remaining implementation period.
