JSDF-funded operations respond directly to the development needs of the poorest and most vulnerable groups in society by (i) enhancing human capital, (ii) developing sustainable livelihoods, and (iii) empowering communities.
In fiscal year 2024 as part of the JSDF’s enhanced focus on results, the JSDF Secretariat revised its results framework to provide a more transparent and effective way to measure and report on project results. The new results framework aligns closely with the World Bank’s corporate scorecard to better map, track and compare results across global sectors and interventions. The updated JSDF results framework is being promoted with teams to encourage the absorption of these indicators into project level results framework to facilitate results aggregation at portfolio level.
