  7. Whatnot to accept • Objectives that have no defined time span • Expected result is too lofty • Developmental process has no benchmarks • Project does not inform on the resources needed • Same objectives appear unchanged in different programmes • Lack of analysis of possible impact

  8. Politicians’ management of the different policy areas Management within an agency Results Based Management Programme and project management for external funding For the public to know what to expect

  9. RBM in an IPA perspective • Regional cooperation motivated • EU and Eurostat applies known quality standards for well defined statistical production areas • All PARs in favour of RBM • Closeness regarding geopolitical realities • Key staff from all NSI’s has similar learning needs

  10. Threats to RBM • Structures and procedures rigid – not freedom to manage for results • NSI’s underresourced and unflexible whilst functioning in a dynamic environment • Unclear expectations from political level

  11. Issues for the future • Support to Statistical Master Plan with an RBM connection • Find synergy effects between NSI’s own development, IPA support and donor support • Communication and dissemination key to build trust • More emphasis on institutional and management development
