Levels
Describes objectives of programme implementation
Distinguishes between programmes and projects and understands the underlying intent and relationship between them
Demonstrates knowledge of the logical framework approach (application, scope utility, and steps) and its importance in programme implementation
Describes the objectives of programme implementation, keeping in mind the causal linkages between problems, programme design, and long-term goals
Aware of the Twenty Point Programme (TPP)-2006 and its role in monitoring the implementation of key programmes/schemes across the country
Identifies key ingredients required for programme implementation
Identifies the ingredients required for programme implementation (activity plan, responsibility matrix, a resource plan, gantt chart, etc.), keeping in mind past research, best practices, and local contexts
Supports the ideation phase of a logical framework, in particular the listing of programme outputs and corresponding activities
Interprets programme implementation data, with a focus on establishing causal linkages between problems, programme design, and long-term goals
Maintains an updated database on the key items and parameters listed in TPP-2006, and the output-outcome framework
Contributes to programme implementation plan
Contributes to the development of programme implementation plan (activity plan, responsibility matrix, a resource plan, gantt chart, etc.)
Prepares the activities and corresponding indicators in a logical framework, to provide the basis for monitoring the progress of programme implementation i.e. completion of activities, delivery of results, etc.
Reviews implementation data to ensure indicators are valid, objective, reliable, useful, and accessible
Compares government programmes against 'very good, good, and poor' categorisation presented in TTP-2006 progress reports and targets stated in the output-outcome framework
Drafts programme implementation manuals
Drafts programme implementation manuals detailing long-term goals, short-term objectives, instructions, processes and information on how to implement various components of the programme, monitoring and evaluation systems, and reporting requirements
Consolidates key components of a logical framework to provide an overview of the larger project, specific programme activities, and anticipated implementation results
Analyses implementation data with a focus on how implementation practices can influence outcomes and long-term goals
Presents implementation data to relevant stakeholders, with an emphasis on strengths, areas of improvements, and progress towards programme targets (stated in the output-outcome framework and otherwise)
Recommends implementation plans based on expertise
Guides and supervises team on the development of implementation manuals
Advocates for logical frameworks as an iterative process that structure and forecast programme implementation
Recommends implementation plans based on expertise gathers from past research, best practices, and local contexts
Disseminates implementation data through various forms of communication (presentations, briefs, documents, infographics, etc) to advance effective programme implementation
