Group Work - at you table:
1. Choose one country and one human right that
is not being fulfilled in that country;
2. Discuss and fill the matrix below;
3. Choose one rapporteur to report to the plenary.

Analysis of duty-bearers’capacity gaps
Motivation
(accountability)
Does the duty bearer
feel an obligation to
perform the role
according to the
obligation? If not
why not?
Authority
Does the duty bearer
have the authority to
perform the role
according to the
obligation? If no
who does?
Resources
Does the duty bearer
have human,
organisational and
financial resources to
perform the role
according to the
obligation? If not,
what’s missing?
Analysis of rights-holders’capacity gaps
Understanding
Does the rights-holder
know that he or she
has rights and can
claim them? If not,
why?
Resources
Does the rights-holder
have the financial,
technical and human
resources to claim his
or her rights? If not,
why?
Risks
What risks might
ensue the rightsholder from claiming
his or her right?
Results-Based Management
and the UNDAF Results Matrix
What is a Result ?
A Result is
a describable or measurable
change
resulting from a
cause-and effect
relationship
Rights-based results
Consider…
–Whose rights are not being met?
–Who has an obligation to act?
–What do these people need to be able
to act? (knowledge, skills, resources)

Attribution and Contribution Analysis
Explores attribution by assessing the contribution to observed results
Key Questions:
• Which links in the results chain are strong and weak?
• How credible is the attribution story overall?
• Do stakeholders agree with the story?
• Where are the main weaknesses in the story?
Indicators
Indicator
A way to measure a result with the intention of
gauging the performance of a programme
– Specifies what is to be measured
– Can be Qualitative or Quantitative
– Does not indicate direction or change (i.e. a target)
– Must have a baseline and target to be made
meaningful
– Can be verified, objectively
Baseline, Target, MoV
Baseline
– The status of the indicator at the beginning of a
programme… a reference point to assess progress
Target
– The expected achievement (quantitative or
qualitative) by the end of the programme or period
Means of Verification (MoV)
– The sources of information that inform baselines
and measure targets.
Types of Indicators
Quantitative
(statistical measures):
• Number of
• Frequency of
• % of
• Ratio of
Qualitative
(judgments or perceptions):
• Alignment with
• Presence of
• Quality of
• Level of

Results Matrix
Formulating UNDAF Outcomes
and their indicators
Link to rights-based causal analysis
• Outcomes are the improvement in
the role performance of the dutybearer and/or rights-holder.
• Outputs are changes in one or more
elements (responsibility, authority,
resources) of capacity that will fill the
capacity gap.
Group Work
At you table:
• Taking into account the unfulfilled Human Right that
your group previously identified and the country
analysis extract, formulate 1-2 potential outcomes
you would propose to include in an UNDAF;
• Identify one or two corresponding indicators for
each outcome;
• Write your outcome statements and related
indicators on a flip chart.
Silent Gallery Walk
• Circulate throughout the room and visit
other groups’ draft outcomes and
indicator.
• On post-it notes provided, comment,
pose questions, and make suggestions
to draft outcomes and indicators.
Silent Gallery Walk
• What do you believe the statement should be?
OR
• What do you like about this results statement and
its indicators? What might make it even better?
OR
• What concerns do you have about this statement
and its indicators? Start your sentence with “My
concern is how to…” or “The statement is
missing…”
Refining results…
To strengthen the capacity of civil
servants to do X by undertaking Y,…
Let’s use results language to
emphasis the future condition
we want to achieve.
The capacity of civil servants is
strengthened to do X by undertaking Y,…All civil servants, everywhere?
Can you be more specific? Are
there particularly weak or underThe capacity of civil servants in the
resourced civil servants we
should emphasise?
4 poorest districts is strengthened to
do X by undertaking Y,…
We can take out information
that relates to either strategy
or activities.
The capacity of civil servants in the 4
poorest districts is strengthened to do X
by undertaking Y,…
Now, let’s try bringing the subject of
Civil servants in the 4 poorest
districts are better able to X
change to the front, and shifting from
passive to active language.
Typical pitfalls
• Wordy (..and no change language)
To promote equitable economic development and
democratic governance in accordance with
international norms by strengthening national
capacities at all levels and empowering citizens and
increasing their participation in decision-making
processes
• Too ambitious
Strengthened rule of law, equal access to justice and
the promotion of rights
• Containing multiple results
The state improves its delivery of services and its
protection of rights—with the involvement of civil
society and in compliance with its international
commitments
Typical pitfalls
• Wishy-washy, not a result (i.e. Support provided to improve..)
Support to institutional capacity building for improved
governance
• So general, they could mean anything
To promote sustainable development and increase
capacity at municipal level
• Overlapping with National goals/ MDGs (impacts)
Substantially reduce the level of poverty and income
inequality in accordance with the MDGs and PRSP
Group Work 2
In your group:
• Refine your outcome statements and indicators
based on the comments and suggestions you
received;
• Write each revised outcome statement and
indicators on a flipchart paper;
• Choose a representative who will read the final
outcome statements and indicators.
