 We wanted to know what results-based approaches to aid the social sectors are doing and they asked participants at this Recom results meeting in Stockholm the questions. Well, I think they're terribly important because it shows you what the outcome is of the money that is spent. The downside of it is when it becomes an accountability to the donors rather than to the recipients. And so the downside can be used to really ill effect when it's a superimposition of results over which there's no ownership. And so my worry today for instance in education is where we've moved from the MDGs on enrollment of primary education to quality is that rather than supporting for instance the learning achievement that needs to be studied within the country it will superimpose learning achievement tests and the companies that are selling them from the industrialized countries on the poor examinations branches of many ministries of education in developing countries. In our eagerness to show this connection between aid and impact sometimes we focus too much on things which can be easily measured and there are some indicators for some of these things like you know some of the corruption indicators and things like that become very popular but unfortunately I think while that is all very useful it doesn't tell us you know some of the story which is actually there is a lot of other factors which we have not measured we have not taken into account. Therefore I think we need that kind of a caution and we want to understand a bit more in terms of why where it has worked where it has you know impacted even after measuring all these factors what other things which we have not thought about might have contributed. One result that's kept coming up and up again is that you have to talk to people in the country work with people in the country get their buying get learn to know what they need what will work talk to the mothers talk to the children find out what will work in each context and it's different in each context. Well I think it's always good to be focused on what you're trying to achieve. There is you know the well-known success indicator problem but if you focus too much on one particular thing you take the eye off the ball in other areas. I mean education would be one example of where a lot of attention has been placed on enrolments particularly enrolment rates in primary school but not enough attention has been given to quality so it's all very well having children going to primary school but they've got to learn something and be able to read and write properly when they come out. I think it's a very difficult question in one sense we actually do need to know the results of these programs and what they can do but I think there's an over emphasis on it and people are becoming more short term oriented and they're not looking at the long term pictures and in some ways is being driven by what you can know in the short term and I think that has to change. We have to change our methodology in order to actually look at what results are and how do you define results and we're long ways from that and there needs to be a lot of agreements as to what we can do regarding how do you identify results that actually affect the welfare of people and so in that sense I think we can't just talk about it we have to really think through this and in my view we haven't done that and I think there's a lot of shouting about it because it sounds very good to the public it sounds very good to legislatures, it sounds very good to people who think that their money is being wasted and so in that sense I think it's actually having not the expected results that I would like to see I would far from it
