Results-Based Management
concept
Contracts can be written to run public services, with money paid only when set targets are hit.
Who they are
Results-Based Management (RBM) and Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs), described in a record about how contracts become governance tools[1].
What they do
The record calls this the operating grammar of modern institutions.
How it works
RBM and DLIs turn contracts into governance instruments. They use KPI triggers and conditional payments. KPIs are Key Performance Indicators. DLIs are Disbursement-Linked Indicators. The record links RBM and KPIs directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also traces an administrative ladder from PPBS to RBM to KPIs. A cited UN-Habitat handbook from 2017 says RBM is a broad management approach whose core focus is achieving results.
Why it matters
It shows how public goals get translated into contract terms, where payment depends on measured targets.
The engine's record — word for word
The corpus records: "Results-Based Management (RBM) and Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs) turn contracts into governance instruments with KPI triggers and conditional payments." It is presented publicly as: "Results-Based Management has become the operating grammar of modern institutions." Documents named in the corpus: PPBS; Results-Based Management (RBM); Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs); OECD-DAC/UN 44; UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Cross-sourced to unhabitat.org — documents cited by the corpus and retrieved independently of it.
