This paper focuses on the experiences and approaches of the donor agencies with establishing results basedmanagement systems. It is based on a document review of selected donor agencies with the most experience, including five bilateral and two multilateral agencies: USAID (United States); DFID (United Kingdom); AusAID (Australia); CIDA (Canada); Danida(Denmark); the UNDP; and the World Bank. Thus far, the donor agencies have gained most experience with establishing performance measurement systems that is, with the provision of performance information and some experience with external reporting on results. There is less documented experience with the actual use of performance information for internal management decision-making.
