Measure results
Why is it important?
Jointly defining a results framework that clearly identifies the roles of all partners involved in the project and includes the desired development and business outcomes is an essential step in making partnerships with the private sector more purpose-driven and impactful. It clarifies the expectation of all stakeholders, provides essential information for the project implementation and thereby builds trust. Measuring results also addresses private sector concerns over risk and demonstrates value and impact to civil society. On the policy level, assessing the quality and effectiveness of private sector engagement (PSE) activities and partnerships overall is a valuable exercise for development partners to review their own PSE strategies and reference in development policies and sectoral or other strategies, but also to point partner country governments to flaws/gaps in their policies and adapt their co-operation activities. The Kampala Principles Assessment as part of the GPEDC monitoring is a valuable tool to conduct such an assessment considering the multi-stakeholder nature of PSE partnerships and policies. For more information on using this country-led exercise, please contact: info@effectivecooperation.org.

COUNTRY-LEVEL EXAMPLES
Katalyst is a multi-donor programme that seeks to develop agricultural chains in Bangladesh. It works with the private sector to develop vital markets for the poorest. For measurement, Katalyst draws upon the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) standard and log-frames: by working with a specialised monitoring team from the outset of the project, all interventions have a result chain and monitoring plan that covers all stages of assessment (output, intermediate and ultimate outcomes). Katalyst uses intermediate outcomes to inform private markets, thus benefiting private partners and enhancing the project’s development outcomes.
