Abstract
The purpose of this study has been to test the theory of Results-based management
(CIDA, 1996) usefulness on implementation of bilateral projects.
The General objective has been to determine the correlation between the results-based
management approaches used in PAGOR as a bilateral project implemented in Rwanda and its
success.
As specific objectives, the research had to determine the profile of the respondents in
terms of gender, age, marital status, educational qualification, field of work and relationship with
PAGOR; to analyze how PAGOR as bilateral project applied the results-based management; to
determine the level of PAGOR success based on what expected; and finally to establish the
relationship between results-based management practiced in PAGOR as bilateral project and its
success.
The population of this study is 300 with a sample of 171 Respondents. The sampling
procedure had been helped by using Sloven’s formula. The population sample includes all
categories of PAGOR beneficiaries such as PAGOR staff, Representatives of local NGO’s, District
staff, Sectors’ staff, Capacity building committee, Gender committee, and Local elected people.
As research instruments, the Researcher used a questionnaire after making a literature
review.
The analysis of research results using the mean of respondents ‘agreements showed that
PAGOR is a successful program and that the RBM was applied. Using Pearson chi-square tests,
~nd regression analysis, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between RBM
applied and the success reached.
Brief contrary to some bilateral projects, PAGOR succeeded particularly; because it was
ocal results-based managed program and different mechanisms for results sustainability were
iefined and built while preventing risks.
However, for an organization which is interesting to replicate a similar program, following
~spects would be improved: support to the taxes ‘collection strategy, reinforcement on District
CT equipment maintenance strategy, giving to the beneficiaries more information about District
lan and report content, giving to the beneficiaries more information about their rights and
~bligations, reinforcement of beneficiaries participation on infrastructures maintenance, more
raining to project ‘beneficiaries on cooperatives ‘management, more training on elected organs
iembers ‘duties, ensuring that District ‘departments produce data which are gender
esegregated.
