Why are we adopting CWB Partnership Targets?
• Part of our journey
• Helps achieve ministry goal and
CWBA&O
• Better focus; helps with
prioritisation
• Resource alignment
• Match resources with
strategic priorities
• Evidence-based approach
• Accountability to stakeholders

The Four Child Well-being Targets
• Children report an increased
level of well-being
• Increase in children who are
well-nourished (ages 0-5)
• Increase in children
protected from infection and
disease (ages 0-5)
• Increase in children who can
read by age 11

Targets flow from our Ministry Framework
Ministry Goal:The sustained well-being of children within families and
communities, especially the most vulnerable.
Child Well-being Aspirations and Outcomes
Target #2
Well-nourished
Target #3
Healthy
Target #1
Children report
increased well-being
Participation & Perception
of overall well-being
Target #4
Children
able to read
Increased well-being in early years contributes to
next stage of life, next generation, and the community’s future

How will we integrate CWB Targets into WV’s work?
Strategy
Ops Planning
Programming
Measurement & Reporting
•
•
•
Strategies increasingly focus on child well-being
Strategies determine which CWB Targets NOs contribute to
Strategy alignment / landscape analyses will determine any adjustments
Ops Planning
•
•
•
Ensure strategies are translated into operational plans
Key focus is technical leadership capacity
Reallocate resources in line with ministry priorities
Programming
•
•
•
Strategies and community context drive programming choices
In design/redesign over 5 years, align programmes to strategy
Strengthen our capacity for contribution to CWBOs including the
targets
•
Measure and report contributions to CWB Targets through ongoing
monitoring and programme evaluations
Strategy
M& R

We will integrate CWB Targets in phases
Timeline: FY 11-13
Implement “aligned strategies”
FY 14-15
FY 16>
Implement “next cycle” of strategies
Align operational plans to strategy; scale up programming
Begin phased M&R in NOs
with expertise as well as
strategic & programmatic focus.
Document learnings
and expand to more NOs
Mainstream M&R
on CWBOs,
including Targets
Continue to address implementation requirements to enable
phased implementation of strategy, programming and M&R

What will happen with the Strategy process…
•
National offices’ contributions to specific Child Well-Being Outcomes including
targets are determined by landscape analysis.
•
Threshold maps for Health, Nutrition and Education targets will become part of
the landscape assessment within the seven-step strategy development model.
•
NOs will contribute to those targets that are outside the acceptable threshold
levels either at national or specific regions where WV works.
•
Even when threshold levels may be acceptable, NOs may still need to change
course for a specific vulnerable group of children.
•
In cases of partial strategy alignment or misalignment with targets, Regional
Strategy Directors will work with NOs to refine the strategy.

With Operational Planning…
•
NOs need to ensure adequate technical
leadership capacity at the NO level.
•
In most offices, technical leadership capacity
will be paid for by reallocation of existing
resources; additional resources will be
required in select offices, however.
•
CWB Targets will be incorporated into:
• Multi-year planning and budgeting
• Programme Capability Reviews
• Organizational Capacity Plans

With Programming…
•
•
•
•
•
•
National office strategies will require scale-up of
evidence-based programming to contribute to CWB
Targets
All new designs and redesigns will include targets in
alignment with their NO strategies as appropriate in
contexts
Ongoing programmes contribute to CWB Targets and
the monitoring process will reflect this
Redesign will occur during normally scheduled
design/redesign processes
If existing programmes/projects are not aligned with
CWB priorities in NO strategy, then redesign may
need to be completed sooner than scheduled – but still
in a timeframe that reflects NO’s overall priorities and
capacity.
Programmes adopting IPM can easily include targets in
design/redesign

With Measurement and Reporting…
•
Measurement is integrated with ongoing DM&E
•
Standard indicators will ensure consistency
•
Partnership standard indicators at outcome level
•
Recommendations for partnership standard
monitoring indicators
•
National offices will select specific monitoring
indicators; Regional Technical Specialists will validate
•
Sponsorship data that is already being collected can be used
for targets
•
National offices will report on targets annually based on
monitoring and outcome data
•
Global/regional reports will be produced annually or
triennially
•
PMIS country dashboards will be used for key data
•
Most vulnerable children are at the heart of the process

In summary, CWB Targets ...
•
•
•
Are a natural evolution of WV’s journey to greater effectiveness and quality in our
work
Will require the full support of every part of the organization, especially NOs
Will require NOs to prepare to incorporate targets into ongoing processes by:
• Reviewing strategies to ensure alignment with target areas based on threshold
levels
• Reducing any gaps between strategic priorities and capacity for programming
•
• Scaling-up evidence-based best practices to contribute to targets in alignment
with strategies
Are long-term outcome targets based on principles of development and long-term
transformation.
We will not implement targets overnight…
but we must take steps now to begin
to incorporate them into our existing work
