      abstract = {This study provides a conceptual framework for analysing  Results-Based Approaches to improving public sector  effectiveness and efficiency according to their actor  constellation and shared characteristics. Though there is  consensus regarding the importance of functioning public  sector agencies and organizations for sustainable  development, public sector reform efforts have historically  only had modest success. Results-Based Approaches aim at  improving public sector performance through the  establishment of reward modalities on the domestic as well  as international levels, and the authors of this work  evaluate the potential of these approaches to provide an  entry point for development cooperation. Applying their  framework to empirical data obtained from fieldwork in  Rwanda, they analyse the main domestic performance approach  - Imhigo - and suggest how the system might be  strengthened.
