| Summary: | In 2003, Minas Gerais's state
government (GMG) launched an ambitious plan that gradually
introduced a results focus into the public administration
and led to the creation of a Results-Based Management (RBM)
system relying on performance information generated by
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) tools. A case study of
Minas Gerais's RBM system offers insights on: 1) the
role of a facilitating environment and individual government
champions for reform; 2) M&E tools founded on the desire
to strengthen strategic planning; 3) the power of a strong
incentive structure; and 4) the value added of investment in
institutional and human capacities. The focus on priority
policy areas and programs allowed GMG to build an RBM system
supported by M&E infrastructure led by the executive
branches of government: the governor and vice governor, the
Ministry of Planning and Management (SEPLAG) and the State
for Results Program (EpR), a small executive team created in
2007 specifically to provide support to the states for
results reform agenda. |
