Overview
Following from the work done to validate the Zimbabwe Country & Regional Integration MfDR Readiness assessments and develop action plans with key stakeholders across government and civil society, a high level workshop was held to present the outputs of the workshop. The high level workshop ran for a full day on the 23rd of May 2014 and had participation from senior government officials, namely 3 Ministers, 10 Deputy Ministers, the Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of President and Cabinet, 3 Permanent Secretaries various Principal Directors as well as the different stakeholders that had been part of the validation process.
Presentations were made to share key ideas for moving forward the managing for development results and regional integration agenda in Zimbabwe and aligning these to the national blueprint, that is, the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio- Economic Transformation (Zim ASSET), 2013 - 2018.
The report that follows provides a key summary of the workshop presentations and deliberations.
I. Introduction
The African Development Bank (AfDB), in partnership with the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) identified the need to mainstream results-based practices into the policies and strategies of countries and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in Africa so that it can become a pole for global growth in the years ahead, unleash its regional integration potential, build strong institutions and instil a results culture that infuses all areas of public affairs. To this end AfDB and ACBF have facilitated the establishment of the African Community of Practice (AfCoP) on Managing for Development Results (MfDR) which has given itself the ambition to contribute to the transformation of Africa through sharing and using managing for development results as a change management process to support institutional reforms for sustainable change on the continent with a focus on regional integration. AfCoP developed a framework for action called the Africa for Results (AfriK4R) initiative, a regional approach to development, to help materialize that vision by mobilizing African leaders from all walks of modern life around the results and regional integration agendas. The AfriK4R initiative aims to: (i) strengthen public sector management systems to build capable states; (ii) build results-oriented organizations for better service delivery; and (iii) enhance regional convergence through MfDR to improve regional integration.
A. The Main Pillars
The main goal of the AfriK4R initiative is to achieve strong and inclusive growth in order to reduce
poverty through increased regional integration. It is based on the main pillars below, from which
common and shared agendas could be drawn:
i. Effective and capable states able to foster a strong and inclusive growth, to finance their development needs through their own resources, with a dynamic, socially and environmentally responsible private sector and well informed civil society for greater accountability;
The Africa for Results Initiative — AfriK4R 5
ii. Integrated and harmonized public financial management systems to improve macro- economic convergence and stability at the regional level to create the conditions for a strong and predictable fiscal space to finance priority development programs;
iii. Trade facilitation and free movement of factors of production for a better integrated regional markets creating larger economies of scale, enhancing competitiveness and fostering cross-border trade;
iv. Improved regional business climate to attract investment, foster economic diversification to promote economic growth; and
v. Social cohesion, through greater citizen participation to increase access to economic opportunities and reinforce ownership and inclusiveness.
The shared agenda will be implemented using the rapid results approach, a results-focused technique aimed at jump-starting major change efforts, enhancing leadership engagement and implementation capacity, increasing local ownership and strengthening accountability. It uses a participatory approach to align stakeholders around shared priorities and strategic goals; sets short term measurable targets and provide a framework for tracking progress.
B. AfriK4R in Action
This initiative has been designed to start at the country level and then lead to the region and finally Africa as a whole. Within each of the participating countries a coordinating team that will work with the local Community of Practice and AfCoP as a whole has been put in place. The coordinating team includes:
Country Focal Point – from the country Government
National Coaches – 2 local consultants in MfDR who are contracted through AfDB but in consultation with the Local Focal Point.
AfDB Focal Point – A representative of AfDB in the country to provide financial support and a channel with the AfDB.
The process has been structured according to certain Key stages
1. Readiness Assessment – An assessment of how ready the country is for MfDR at the National and Regional Integration level, and correspondingly, how ready the region is for MfDR.
2. Action Planning – Developing an action plan to close the gaps established from the Readiness Assessment, especially in the context of Regional Integration and identifying the priority areas.
3. Implementation– Implementation of agreed priorities at the action planning stage using the Rapid Results Approach.
4. Capacity Building – Conducting training during implementation to build capacity of the affected areas and stakeholders.
5. Knowledge Sharing – Capturing the lessons learnt from the process and ensuring that these are shared with key stakeholders at the National, Regional and Continental level.
The readiness assessment and action planning stages have been conducted and validated. The high
level workshop presented the results of these steps to senior government officials with the main
purpose being to get buy in from the decision makers and make it easier to implement the Afrik4R
Initiative in the agreed target areas.

II. Meeting Introduction and Keynote Statement
A. Welcome and introductions: Deputy Chief Secretary Dr Ndhlukhula
The Deputy Chief Secretary, Dr Ndhlukhula welcomed and introduced the ministers, deputy ministers and permanent secretaries present.
B. Opening Remarks: Honourable F Chidarikire
Honourable Chidarikire, The Minister of State for Mashonaland West Province, welcomed the guests into his province of Mashonaland West. He commended the Afrik4R initiative particularly how well it aligns with the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (Zim ASSET). He noted that the focus is in sync with the mood in the country, operationalizing Zim ASSET. He noted that problems cannot be solved in silos but through concerted efforts and indicated that there is need for everybody to hook on to the Zim ASSET vision to guide the development of the country. He said that citizens are vocal and expect government to deliver results. Therefore, there is need for the right toolkit to implement the Zim ASSET.
He then highlighted the opportunities in Kariba, especially around tourism and hospitality adding that fish and crocodile farming, fish processing and tanning are some of the opportunities that still need to be exploited in the region. Mining of slate, art and crafts are other opportunities that also can be explored. He wished everyone fruitful deliberations and a successful workshop.
C. Mateus Magala, Resident Representative African Development Bank
The Resident Representative for the African Development Bank (AfDB) Mr Mateus Magala noted that AfDB is dedicated to bring results, on Afrik4R initiative. AfCoP has now over 4000 members, focusing on providing tangible results. He noted that Zimbabwe launched its own Community of Practice in 2010 and in 2013, Zimbabwe hosted the AfCoP annual meeting which was attended by 150 people from various nations. He noted that it is imperative to promote good governance and management to bring prosperity for all. MfDR can help to bring poverty to an end. The AfCoP has demonstrated that results can be achieved and Afrik4R will support countries to improve results achievement. There is need for capable Africans that deliver, more accountable and able to raise their own revenue. This can be achieved through Regional Integration and on the other hand a skilled African work force. He highlighted the need to infuse a results culture in all of Africa. He elaborated that the AfriK4R initiative was currently focused on the regional communities of COMESA and WEAMU, working with 16 African countries. He emphasised that bringing results to the table is the reason for this meeting with a focus is on three policy areas of Trade Facilitation, Public Financial Management and Business Climate. He concluded by saying that the purpose of the meeting was to set the course for mainstreaming of MfDR and it is now our responsibility to fully own and institutionalise the MfDR approach.

D. Keynote Address: Honourable S G Nyoni , Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises
Honourable Sithembiso Nyoni gave the keynote address. She noted the need to inculcate a results oriented culture in organisations, finding ways of filling gaps in a bid to improve the country’s socio-economic condition. She noted that the establishment of AfCoP and all chapters and Afrik4R initiative is a welcome development. For the initiative to be successful, there is need to put in place enablers such as robust private sector led economic growth to include SMEs and cooperatives; effective and accountable government, development of a strong private sector and stronger Regional Integration, already under way as with COMESA and SADC. She highlighted the need to strengthen the regional blocks, and this calls for pulling together the required infrastructure and also calls for mindset shift to inculcate a results culture. She noted that it is no longer business as usual and everyone needs to adapt or else become irrelevant. She went further to say that for Zim ASSET to succeed, there is a need to shift our mindsets so as to find solutions to challenges facing Zimbabwe, with the aim of delivering tangible results. She stressed the importance of delivering results to the people of Zimbabwe and this requires unity of purpose and collaborative efforts. Zimbabwe has been implementing RBM since 2005 and the Zim ASSET plan has been crafted using the RBM approach. AfCoP and Afrik4R will further gel with Zimbabwe’s agenda on RBM as we find ways of dealing with the gaps and achieving results. She urged everyone to effectively participate and noted that a workshop such as this one should be held more often to monitor and evaluate and make decisions on how to achieve results.
E. Vote of Thanks: Deputy Chief Secretary Dr Ndhlukhula
The Deputy Chief Secretary Dr Ndhlukhula opened by quoting President Robert Gabriel Mugabe’s foreword in Zim ASSET, “The results based agenda is built around four strategic clusters that will enable Zimbabwe to achieve economic growth and reposition the country as one of the strongest economies in the region and Africa”. He noted that the process underway is in line with Zim ASSET. He commended the growth of economies of Malaysia and China yet they were colonised similar to Zimbabwe, and noted that it is time to change our mindsets. It is the responsibility of the civil service to translate policies into results. There is need to look at pre-requisites of economic development, human capital development; infrastructure both social and economic infrastructure; energy; need to teach people to save money. He thanked Honourable Minister Nyoni for the keynote address, Honourable Minister Chidarikire for his welcome remarks, AfDB and AfCoP.
F. Objectives of the High level Workshop: Sylvester Obongo
Mr Obongo as meeting facilitator gave the objectives of the High Level Meeting as follows:

The Africa for Results Initiative — AfriK4R 8
III. Managing for Results to Achieve Greater Development Effectiveness
A. Overall Regional Integration Performance COMESA
A presentation was made on the major policy areas under COMESA and how Zimbabwe is fairing. It was noted that Zimbabwe still has lots of room to improve. For example registering a company in Zimbabwe takes 90 days while registering a company in Rwanda takes 3 days. This means that there is need to improve on the business climate.
Discussion Feedback: Participants agreed with this key observation and provided other examples of areas where Zimbabwe needs to improve.
B. Managing for Development Results
The presentation emphasised the need to work towards planning for results and achieving results. It emphasised the need to set targets and then be clear on what needs to be measured and what impact is expected. The indicators must be specific to the change that is needed and have corresponding set specific targets. The presentation also highlighted that with resources getting tighter there is a greater need to look and focus on results, focus on providing sound information to improve decision-making and evidence based decision making.
C. Linking The National Development Plan to an MfDR Approach: Mr Solomon Mhlanga, Principal Director, Department of Modernisation
Mr Mhlanga gave a background to the journey Zimbabwe has followed in the implementation of MfDR, having started on Results Based Management (RBM) as a country in 2005. He noted that although Zimbabwe has gone through its own fair share of challenges including record inflation levels, the advent of the new national plan – Zim ASSET after the harmonised elections of 2013 has given new impetus to the initiative and this blue print in itself has been written as a results based document. Mr Mhlanga also reminded the audience that the need for a culture of results was cross continental and something that Africa has lagged behind on.
He then moved on to discuss the critical role that regional integration must play in creating a new forward-looking, dynamic and integrated Africa. He noted that many efforts have been there to intergrate Africa from the days of the OAU and SADDC to now with the AU, SADC and COMESA. He also lamented the state in which Africa is in despite the fact that it is much larger than continents such as America, Europe and Australia and noted that Africa needs to become more results focused and integrated if it is to succeed.

IV. Country Assessment Results and Action Plans
A. Country Assessment Results and Action Plans
The national coaches presented the validated results and these were received well. In addition, the validated action plans were presented. In summary the assessment report detailed the following:
The country readiness assessment conducted for Zimbabwe reflects overall scores ranging between 1.6 and 3.5 on the different MfDR pillars as defined in the Afrik4R methodology. These results indicate and highlight the following key points:
A strong focus on institutional capacity for managing for results is beginning to show results and is now well into the work in progress range.
Everything rises and falls on Leadership (Pillar I) and between 2009-2013 the existence of a Government of National Unity divided the focus of leadership but after the 31 July 2013 harmonised elections, the leadership has been promoting the need and urgency of implementing MfDR in Government.
Results-Based Budgeting (Pillar II) has not been fully integrated into the nation's budgeting processes and as such the funding process is definitely limiting the MfDR process and this needs to be addressed urgently.
It is evident that Planning for Results (Pillar III) is not as strong as it should be but this is reflective of the fact that a new plan (Zim ASSET) has recently been put in place and it is in its early days of implementation.
Challenges exist in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems (Pillar V) and this has impacted on Accountability for Results (Pillar VI).
To drive improved success in the rest of the MfDR pillars, funding from different development partners needs to be aligned to the country’s national priorities as espoused in Zim ASSET.
The assessment of the national efforts for regional integration within COMESA reflected overall scores ranging between 1.3 and 3.1. These results indicate the following:
Zimbabwe’s institutional capacity with regards to regional integration is not as strong as it should be.
There is no regional integration plan in existence, which makes it difficult to measure and track results at this level.
Programme - Based Budgeting is not practised and this is also reflected in the country assessment. There is no specific budget for regional integration, which has made this area very weak.
Partnerships have been forged with donor agencies particularly on the COMESA related interventions. However, these need to be strengthened.
Capacity to deliver goods and services is limited. It should be noted that some restructuring has been done and this presents an opportunity to strengthen capacity to deliver.
The Africa for Results Initiative — AfriK4R 10
The following recommendations are made:
On the country MfDR readiness
Although much has been done in terms of Civil Service reforms and restructuring of public institutions, this area still remains far behind other Governments in the region in terms of truly modernizing the public sector. There is a need to adequately resource the OPC to ensure that that MfDR is fully implemented.
There is need to improve participation of all key stakeholders during planning. It is strongly recommended that during the review of the new strategy, all stakeholders’ -including women and youth -are able to participate fully and actively. It may even be appropriate at this early stage of the new plan to seek stakeholder feedback and incorporate their ideas into the implementation of the plan as it moves forward.
The national budget needs to become fully programme-based with clear and transparent mechanisms to assess performance and share results with all stakeholders. This is an urgent issue.
In addition to performance agreements for Permanent Secretaries, it is important that similar measures be put in place for all staff, at least those of the higher positions.
There is need to fully set up an integrated Management Information System (MIS) for the Government of Zimbabwe.
It will be important to strengthen evaluation of the GSP and across all ministries, focusing on programme, performance, and systems and procedures.
There is need to inculcate a culture of using information as well as lessons learnt collected from reviews and evaluations for decision-making. This is currently not systematically happening.
There is need to strengthen donor coordination particularly with the new GSP, Zim ASSET. It will be important to align all funding based on Zim ASSET priorities, including the funding arrangements with the UN organisations under ZUNDAF and others, such as the Global Fund, Health Transition Fund and the Education Transition Fund, for example.
It is proposed that a donor roundtable be held by the Government of Zimbabwe to focus on possible areas under Zim ASSET for the donors to come together and fund.
On the national efforts for regional integration within COMESA
There is need for clarity on roles and responsibilities between Zimbabwe and COMESA as well as with other regional bodies, such as SADC.
It is important to develop a national plan for regional integration as the regional issues will certainly impact on the national issues and also need to be considered earlier than later in the move towards a full management for results as a nation.
It is important for Zimbabwe to have a specific budget to support regional integration.
There is need to financially resource the departments responsible for regional integration in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
The involvement of civil society organisations will need to be widened and strengthened to ensure that different groups are involved - particularly women and youth - in regional integration processes.
Dissemination of regional integration information would need to be improved to ensure a wide dissemination to concerned stakeholders.
There is need to capacitate the national statistics agency (ZIMSTAT) to collect relevant regional integration statistics based on agreed-upon indicators.
The Africa for Results Initiative — AfriK4R 11
A Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system would need to be put in place to support tracking of results.
It will be important to put in place measures to ensure proper accountability in achieving agreed-upon and set targets. A peer review mechanism would need to be put in place at the regional level (COMESA).
There exist a good will amongst technical and financial partners and there are examples of how these have worked out between countries for example Trade Mark Southern Africa, Centre for Development Enterprise and USAID Trade Hub. The Chirundu One-Stop Border Post is one example, where in JICA, World Bank, DFID, GIZ collaborated to support. More such partnerships should be encouraged.
In general, the decision makers welcomed the assessment report and were in agreement with the results. With regards to the action plans they raised concern why everything listed in the action plans was not being implemented under Afrik4R. It was noted that there is limited time and limited resources and that funds will be sourced to implement the whole action plan as everything is equally important. Below is the summary of the action plans that will be implemented under Afrik4R:
B. Discussion
Following the presentation a number of comments were received from the participants in support of the presentation and to provide clarity in some areas the key comments are noted below:
i. Participants agreed with observations as regards misalignment of donor funding with national priorities and the UNDP representative at the workshop, Mr M Moyo, noting that in terms of ZUNDAF this alignment was now underway and would be in place for the next phase of the funding.
ii. It was also noted that as a nation we need to encourage FDI to support the national plans as well as expedite the creation of a sovereign wealth fund.
iii. The issues at the state procurement board as noted in the report were supported by the participants and it was noted that a restructuring of the board is already underway being funded by the World Bank.
iv. The need for people with the right mindset and attitude was deemed as a critical success factor in achieving results in Zimbabwe and it was noted that the civil service needs a
The Africa for Results Initiative — AfriK4R 12
stronger performance culture where there are consequences for poor performance as well as incentives for good performance.
v. Concerns were raised that the nation has become a nation of planners, with great plans but no implementation, so this needs to change if Zim ASSET and the Afrik4R initiative are to succeed. OPC highlighted that this was true and now a specific department was in place to drive the need for implementation as well as Monitoring and Evaluation within OPC and this is headed by a Deputy Chief Secretary.
vi. The importance of Results Based Budgeting for the success of the entire MfDR process in Zimbabwe was stressed by all and agreed that this was of paramount importance and criticality to ensure lasting success in Zimbabwe.
vii. It was also noted that sometimes the RBM terminology was overly complex and needs to be simplified so that all stakeholders can easily understand and adopt key precepts.
V. Planning and Managing The Change for Rapid Results
A. Rapid Results Implementation
Mr Obongo gave an overview of the Rapid Results Approach. He noted that Rapid Results is a result focused learning process that is aimed at jump-starting major organisational change efforts and enhancing implementation capacity. He discussed the short-term 100 - day implementation initiatives that can be used as building blocks for long-term implementation. He noted that RRA is a results management tool that:
Accelerates implementation of strategic organizational objectives and priorities. Builds support for large-scale change efforts by overcoming inertia and resistance to
change. Helps leaders adapt and refine implementation strategies. Rapid Results Approach is thus a structured process that uses short-term (100-day)
initiatives to help build leadership and program management skills as well as accelerate the pace at which results are achieved.
Each 100-day initiative (called a Rapid Results Initiative or “RRI”) provides an avenue to build the capacity of people as they attempt to achieve ambitious results that are of critical importance to long-term strategies (outcomes and impacts).
The Approach has been in use for the last 40 years in the public and private sectors - both in developed and developing economies - to enhance the effectiveness and capacity of organizations and individuals.
He noted the rational for RRA as follows:
Accelerates learning and discovery. Reduces hidden risks inherent in long-term strategies. Promotes innovation. Promotes cross-sectional team-work orientation to implementation of plans and
strategies-Integration. Builds a framework for incorporating lessons learned during implementation. Helps teams think ‘outside the box’ and eventually to “think without a box”.
The Africa for Results Initiative — AfriK4R 13
He gave examples of his experience in implementing Rapid Results Approach in Kenya and the commendable results that had been achieved in the different areas.
VI. Way Forward and Closing
A. Way Forward
It was noted that as a way forward, the Deputy Chief Secretary will discuss with the Chief Secretary and the Office of the President and put teams together that will implement the four areas that will be covered under the Afrik4R programme. Once the teams are in place, the national coaches will train the teams. The training would cover Results Based Budgeting Management, Monitoring and Evaluation and Rapid Results Implementation. Once the training is complete the 100 days rapid results implementation will be launched.
B. Closing Remarks by The Honourable Iris Mabuwa: Deputy Minister, Ministry of Industry and Commerce
Honourable Mabuwa congratulated the organisers for the successful workshop. She thanked the AfDB for the support that they have given in Zimbabwe and noted that the impact of their support surpasses the 50 years that AfDB has been in existence. She thanked her fellow ministers and deputy ministers for their active participation noting the richness of the discussions. She thanked Minister Nyoni, Minister Chidarikire and Mr Magala of AfDB for the fruitful deliberations. She noted that the workshop gave an opportunity to listen and share ideas through lively discussions. She noted that this process will definitely yield tangible results. She noted that this process has shown the seriousness of the Government of Zimbabwe to implement MfDR. She highlighted the need to identify quick wins and implement them using the RBM approach. She closed by thanking the hotel management and staff for their hospitality.
