This includes employing the Atlas system as a performance management system, linking resources to results and costing of outputs and results.

Events or inputs to the system are expected to generate specific results or outputs.

In drawing together the results of the study, a number of outputs will be required.

Results based budgeting is thus a results driven budgeting process in which programme formulation and resource justification involve a set of predefined objectives, expected outcomes, performance indicators and outputs that constitute a logical framework .

UNHCR indicated that the 2006 budget has outlined the objectives, expected outputs and key indicators for measuring results, including the objectives for the public information budget.

He welcomed the submission of the proposed programme budget in the results based format, but the link between inputs and outputs should continue to be highlighted.

If the outputs do not reasonably match historic values during the validation process, the model should be reviewed and updated to produce results more in line with expectations.

Regarding peacekeeping budgets, those for the financial period 2004 05 featured more measurable indicators of achievement and outputs and improved linkages between the results based budgeting frameworks and resource requirements.

The reporting on the implementation of outputs is weak, data on the relevant indicators of achievement are not properly collected and progress made on the results achieved is not assessed.

Apart from the list of outputs, the reports of intergovernmental committees of experts do not contain meaningful results based information on the performance of relevant subregional offices.

Management variances caused by management actions to achieve planned results more effectively (e.g., by reprioritizing or adding certain outputs) or efficiently (e.g., by taking measures to reduce personnel or operational inputs while maintaining the same level of outputs) and or from performance related issues (e.g., by having underestimated the costs or quantities of inputs required to produce a certain level of outputs, or by delayed recruitment)
