Programme Management

Management Process Figure 4 illustrates major steps in the programme lifecycle. The programme management cycle
begins with UNDP’s objectives as defined in the UNDAF and UNDP’s goals at the country level as defined in the Strategic
Plan 2008-2011, and ends by evaluating progress in realising programme outcomes. The rounded-corner rectangles in the
centre of the diagram represent the processes of a programme, essentially the high-level activity areas starting and ending
at decision points that must be followed to manage a programme. In addition, the diagram illustrates with dotted lines the
key management review points within the cycle. For each process, the Programme
Management section of the Guide provides information to ensure appropriate UNDP policies are followed, key stakeholders
are kept informed, appropriate management structure exists, results are monitored, and the programme results are well managed.
