Introduction to DCO SmartPlanner

(2 min read)

The integrated annual results and budget planning is a key operational and management tool to achieve development results outlined in the multi-annual Results Framework for the RC system and to align results with resources for sound results-based management. The purpose of the annual work planning (AWP) is to outline how each organizational unit fulfills its respective roles and functions to enable the collective achievement of RC system results. And the purpose of the granular budget planning is to enable the most efficient and strategic budget allocation per organizational unit in order to enable delivery of the outlined results. Building on lessons learned from separate work planning and budget planning in the past, the 2024 planning is now more integrated with a unified DCO SmartPlanner App and with results planning guiding the budget. The tool is also an additional accountability instrument to show our value-add as coordination mechanism and catalyst for more effective and efficient development results.
