A Framework for Results Based Management to The Public Sector in Egypt:Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

After the Second World War, the newly emerged independent third world countries faced immense problems such as poverty, illiteracy, poor health, low agriculture and industrial productivity and social instability. The idea of development administration was born with the above-stated pragmatic concern. Since then, third world countries strived to adopt development administration principles and techniques; in order to transform their conventional traditional public administration into modern development administration that can lead the prospective development.Such conventional public administration deals with regulatory aspects of administration such as law and order, judicial administration and revenue collection, development administration is concerned with the socio-economic developmental activities.Thus, traditional public administration is structure-oriented while developmental administration is action-oriented. Many third world countries failed in realizing such desired shift by converting its conventional public administration to effective development administration; able to achieve the intended national development via the formulation and the implementation of plans, policies, programs and projects necessary for sustainable development purposes. Such bad governance had led the people to go up against such government; as it happens lately in some Arab countries like Egypt and Tunisia.Therefore, the public sector in Egypt need to be deregulated, a new results-based management is a must; to hold managers accountable. This is a fundamental change: holding managers accountable for what they do, not how they do it. The public sector reform initiatives (especially the New Public management -NPM) have resulted in changing the ISSN 2161-7104 2015 www.macrothink.org/jpag 24 accountability concept; from accountability in terms of procedural compliance to accountability in terms of efficiency and results (effectiveness and cost effectiveness).

Monitoring and Evaluation Challenges and Approaches by Non-Governmental Organizations in Musoma, Tanzania

“…Resultoriented approaches are often used to provide accountability for the investment in the project, where donors and funders want to see what has been done with their money (Naswa et al, 2015). The strength of this approach is that the project managers and participants can assess what works and what doesn't work in certain interventions at a specific time and if necessary, the strategy can be modified along the way (Aly, 2015).…”

Results Based Management (RBM): An antidote to pro- gram management

“…The logical framework of RBM resides on the structured, logical model, which identi ies the expected outputs and consequently the inputs as well as activities required to accomplish the outcomes (Aly, 2015 (Aly, 2015). The process of RBM is an iterative undertaking that relies on two concepts -strategy, and expected results.…”

“…It is a RC focusing on human and inancial resources to generate both short-term and longterm outputs for the organizations. RBM is a philosophy that focuses on achieving tangible changes (Aly, 2015). It is a set of tools employed in program management that seeks to summarize organizational core objectives.…”

“…In the strategic systems approach, RBM is a results-focused approach. RBM focuses on performance and achievements, which are weighed regarding impacts, outcomes or outputs (Aly, 2015).…”

The The Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Enhance Results-Based Management

“…RBM emphasizes that project managers and teams focus on outcomes and results, enabling easy tracking and measuring of intervention's impacts. Besides, RBM increases public administration and governance accountability by linking funding to positive results, ensuring efficient government spending (Aly, 2015). Aligning resources with results to ensure effective use is vital in sectors with constrained budgets, like education and healthcare.…”
