The Capacity Development Results Framework: a strategic and results-oriented approach to learning for capacity development

The Capacity Development Results Framework (CDRF or the Framework) is a powerful new approach to the design, implementation, monitoring, management, and evaluation of development programs. Originally conceived to address well-documented problems in the narrow field of capacity development, the Framework can be profitably applied to assess the feasibility and coherence of proposed development projects, to monitor projects during implementation (with a view to taking corrective action), or to assess the results, or even the design, of completed projects. 

The Framework can also be used as a step-by-step guide to the planning, implementation, and
evaluation of projects and programs designed to build capacity for development at a national or subnational level.
