Measuring and managing for results in fragile and conflict-affected states and situations

The purpose of this Note is to disseminate good practices on measuring and managing for
results in fragile and conflict-affected states and situations (FCAS). It provides guidance for
monitoring and evaluation (M&E) at both the country programme and project levels. The
intended audience is country office managers and advisers at DFID and other donor
agencies. This note is intended to be useful for DFID country offices in their Operational
Planning following the Bilateral Aid Review, in the context of the Spending Review
commitment to spend 30% of ODA in fragile states. It is also intended to inform the
development of new business cases.
This Note deals with those aspects of results management that are specific to FCAS (which
make up most of DFID?s country programmes), and supplements general DFID guidance on
the subject (for example, logframe guidance).
