The PMES system was established with a view to assess the effectiveness of Government Departments in their mandated functions which involves the preparation of a Results Framework Document (RFD) by each Department every year,[8][9][10] highlighting its objectives and priorities for the financial year against pre specified targets at the end of the year.

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
