Project Description

This grant provides support to the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) for the implementation of its strategic management plan (SMP). The SMP seeks to modernize the OIF allowing it to: (1) focus its actions in its areas of excellence; (2) adopt a simplified organizational and decision-making structure; (3) adapt the management of human resources to the organization’s needs and requirements; (4) improve its management tools; (5) communicate effectively; and (6) measure the impact of its achievements. The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) implements more focused results-based programming in 2010-2013; the OIF improves its reporting structure and its Directors are made more accountable; the organisation has stronger human resource planning and management capacity; and it has computer-based and financial management procedures and systems suited to its needs.

Progress & Results Achieved

Results achieved as of 2011 include: the OIF has developed programming and a performance measurement framework focused on results-based management. It has also adopted new financial and administrative management guidelines as well as a new personnel code for human resource management. The OIF has an organization and decision-making structure that clearly defines individual responsibilities. These measures contribute to accountability better financial and administrative monitoring and efficient and effective management of the OIF's resources.
