The Results Matrices (RM) is an instrument designed to provide results orientation to the PDP. Thus, the Eastern Visayas RDP 2017-2022 Midterm Update, being a geographical slice of the PDP 2017-2022, uses the RM. It is anchored on results-based management (RbM), a strategy that focuses on performance by highlighting achievements of outcome and impact. The Chapter RMs are expanded to integrate aggregate outputs of policies, programs, and projects which will contribute towards achieving the Chapter outcomes. Details of activities in support of the Chapter outcomes shall also be defined appropriately in the respective strategic plans and public investment programs of the different implementing agencies.
The preparation of the RM is an integral part of the planning process. It is ideally carried out during the initial stages of development planning to capture an agreed overall strategic and results framework as a product of multi-stakeholder analyses of problems, objectives, alternatives, as well as visioning exercises.
The RbM strategy supports public expenditure management reforms that shift the focus from mere input-output monitoring to an emphasis on achieving outcomes and impacts prioritized in the Plan.
