  8. Reducing risk: anchor programs with rapid-result initiatives Activities Year 2 Year 1 Year 3 Improve Performance and Results Time Early Projects aimed at achieving Targeted Results—in microcosm—in 100 days or less

  9. Illustrative Examples of RRI’s Trade, Tourism and Industry • By the end of December 2003, clear out the backlog of licenses, increase the speed of processing new licenses by 5%, and reduce the time for processing licenses by one week Infrastructure • By end of December 2003, rehabilitate 1200 km of urban roads, and gravel 1500 km of rural roads in key agricultural areas (one district in each Region) ICT • By December 2003, introduce system of court proceeding recording that facilitates accessibility of court records and minimizes queuing in courts (measurement benchmarks to be determined) Public Safety Law and Order • Reduce police response time to distress calls to 30 minutes, for calls originating in Nairobi

  10. Criteria of Rapid-Results Initiatives • Focused on a real Result • Designed for impact as well as learning and discovery • Requires the absorption and use of new technical and managerial capacities • Stimulating and energizing goal: • Challenging, yet achievable • Urgent and compelling – 100 days or less • Sharply defined and measurable
