TAILIEUCHUNG - Participatory Approaches for an Impact-Oriented Project Cycle

Clearly indicated throughout this report are the very important free and open discussions and objective analysis of perceived issues, concerns, and alternative approaches, including various mission concepts, among all of the competent technical and management members of the internal staff, even if those discus- sions might indicate differences of opinion regarding planned approaches. This interchange was certainly strongly encouraged and pursued by Bob Seamans. The most dramatic example of that open view and the examination of alternative approaches and suggestions was the result of Bob Seamans’s actions in responding to the persistent recommendations from John Houbolt that a lunar orbit rendezvous approach was superior to the then-preferred. | Participatory Approaches for an Impoct-Oriented_ ijprojectiyCLe Strengthening the impact orientation of IFAD s project cycle TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION INCREASING PROJECT IMPACT THROUGH PARTICIPATORY APPROACHES INTEGRATING MANAGEMENT TOOLS WITH THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INTRODUCING GREATER IMPACT ORIENTATION OF PROJECTS AT AN INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL 4 6 10 16 22 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 26 Appendix 1 - Workshop Programme 28 Appendix 2 - List of Workshop Participants 30 3 IMPACT WORKSHOP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary I FAD s Action Plan for 2000 to 2002 repeatedly calls for greater and more explicit impact in its poverty alleviation projects. The insistence on more impact assessment and performance improvement requires a mobilization of different skills and resources. And for innovations to be documented and shared a different priority on learning and dissemination is required. In May 2000 the Fund s Working Group on Impact Achievement throughout the Project Cycle was charged with exploring ways to re-orient the project cycle to enhance impact. The working group developed a framework for IFAD s project cycle geared towards better achievement of impact in the field. The framework also contributes to the Fund s capacity to learn with its partners from the imple mentation and evaluation of IFAD projects . to enhance IFAD s capacity to acquire and share rele- vant knowledge. Certainly the implications of this framework and the many specific recommendations that form it require further analysis. One vehicle for gaining a better understanding of the changes necessary for achieving greater impact was the workshop on Participatory Approaches for an Impact Orientated Project Cycle held at IFAD from 14 to 16 November 2000. The objective of this workshop was to analyse project management methods and approaches that support the planning monitoring and achievement of impact. Discussions at the workshop centered around three themes D increasing .
