Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Results-based management | A management approach in which everyone contributing to a set of results makes sure their processes, products and services serve those results, and measures progress against them, as the UN Development Group handbook sets out. |
| Theory of change | A stated chain of causes from a programme's activities to its intended outcomes, used to plan evaluation. |
| Health system resilience | The capacity of health actors, institutions and populations to prepare for, absorb and recover from shocks while keeping essential services running. |
