The Result Based Management (RBM) approach, is adopted by SOS Children's Villages in Uganda majorly to help us answer some three basic questions:

• How do we know we know if our strong quality focus leads to the results we intend to achieve? 
• What evidence do we have of the difference our work has made in the lives of children, families, and communities? 
• To what extent can we prove that our support is sustainable?

RBM is a way to organise our plans and activities to focus on the changes we want to achieve.

RBM helps us to overcome the issue of uncoordinated “endeavours”. 

 RBM is a management strategy focusing on performance and achievement of results (OECD, 2002). Its primary purpose is to increase accountability through results-oriented and evidence-based planning, decision-making, and learning.

Therefore, to manage a programme based on results, we need to plan for desired results, monitor and report throughout implementation, objectively evaluate our programmes, and, most critically, use results to learn and improve. RBM is a systematic and holistic approach to do this.
