The 2009 Handbook on Planning, Monitoring and Evaluating for Development Results is a revision of the previous Handbook published in 2002. The publication is a corporate initiative to strengthen a culture of results-orientation in UNDP programming, and is different from previous versions. Recognizing the importance of integrating results management at the design stage, it includes guidance on results-based planning. By providing ‘how to’ on results-based planning, monitoring and evaluation, this Handbook is intended to strengthen the organization as a global partner in development.
