Meta-Frame
Meta-Frame is a suite of instruments developed to manage complex projects and programs and implement policy. Implementation and the achievement of results is central to Meta-Frame. The background is:
- There is large need to achieve cost effectiveness and value-for-money in implementing complex programs and policies
- Achieving results does not happen by chance
- Program design, implementation arrangement and conducive environments are essential, yet the mechanisms of effective programs are not always thought through;
- It is as important to manage certainty as it is to manage uncertainty
Meta-Frame consists of three nested circles: program design and review; implementation arrangements; and culture and governance. The show, the artists and audience and the marquee matter equally as in a circus.
Meta-Frame can be used for:
- Program design
- Project and program evaluation
- Capacity building
- Designing and reviewing implementation strategies
- Designing financing systems
- Designing reporting and monitoring systems
- Developing and implementing communication strategies
- Implementing culture change programs
- Reviews of program management and governance
- Supporting interim management
