This chapter sets to context for sub-basin results-based measurement systems. It begins by
presenting a brief review of basic theories and conceptual approaches underlying monitoring
and evaluation and trends toward results-based approaches. This is followed by discussion of
outcome monitoring and measurement and sources of variation that can be expected in
approaches to monitoring and evaluation in pilot and other sub-basins. These considerations
are incorporated into the framework for sub-basin monitoring and evaluation presented in the
next chapter. Following chapters explore how results-based measurement relates to current
sub-basin plans roles for major stakeholder groups and needs for capacity building.
