RFD(Results Framework Document)
A Results-Framework Document (RFD) is a PMES tool, documenting a record of understanding between a Minister representing the people’s mandate, and the Secretary of a Department responsible for implementing this mandate.[11][12][13] In its fifth round of implementation, i.e. 2013, the division has made public five compendiums having RFDs of different Departments/Ministries
