BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION In August 2010, FAS reviewed its monitoring and evaluation system in order to identify ways of improving it and further adapted it to a result based management (RBM). The process helped formalize and strengthen good practices that FAS has been using since its creation in 1996. Additionally, it has allowed for a new component such as the development of templates so as to facilitate FAS staff’s project management and reporting. Programme planning, monitoring and evaluation as well as reporting come together as RBM. RBM aims at importing management effectiveness and accountability by defining realistic expected results, monitoring progress toward their achievement and integrating lessons learned into managing decision and reporting on performance. RBM has been adopted by many multilateral development organizations, bilateral development and public administrations throughout the world. As such, the hired M&E officer will essentially focus on planning, monitoring and evaluating to assess efficient, effective and impactful policies and actions for FAS.
