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
