Results-Based Management and Outcome Leadership Training Course

Introduction

In an era where accountability, transparency, and impact are critical to public trust and development effectiveness, results-based management (RBM) has emerged as a key leadership competency. The Results-Based Management and Outcome Leadership Training Course is a practical 5-day program designed to help professionals plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate programs and policies with a sharp focus on measurable results. Participants will develop the skills to shift from input-driven approaches to outcome-oriented planning, enabling them to lead teams, projects, and institutions towards performance excellence and meaningful change.

This course provides a robust foundation in RBM tools such as logical frameworks, performance indicators, and results chains, integrated with leadership principles that drive institutional transformation. It is tailored for those responsible for delivering on strategic plans, managing development programs, and ensuring accountability to stakeholders. By the end of the training, participants will be equipped to lead with clarity, track performance effectively, and foster a culture of results across their organizations.
