AS many as 250 senior officers of the Central government will be participating in special workshops on Results Framework Documents beginning Tuesday. Cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar (in picture) will be inaugurating the first in the series of six workshops which are being organized at the initiative of Performance Management Division of the Cabinet Secretariat.
According to a cabinet secretariat statement, the Results Framework Documents, which are to be annual Performance Management tools, would set out the near term objectives of 59 departments and evolve a system for monitoring the department’s progress through success indicators. The Prime Minister has approved the preparation of Results Framework Documents for all departments of the Government of India, as part of the comprehensive Performance Monitoring & Evaluation System(PMES). This move is likely to improve the functioning of government departments substantially. In fact, 59 departments would be preparing Results Framework Documents, in the first phase of roll out of the government of India’s Performance Monitoring & Evaluation System, which would subsequently be extended to cover in phases all the government of India departments.
