Baseline and target valueProgramme
specific result indicators’ baseline values established where possible on past experience and budget, others to be established through ad hoc surveysOutput indicators’ target values have been established paying attention to envisaged activities, past experience and budget allocationNeed for further clarification on
methods for calculating
targets
Definition of
Strategic Projects
(and related requirements, scope and budget) essential for fine tuning the targets
IndicatorsThe choice of foreseeing one Result Indicator (RI) for each expected result is sharable, though they must prove not to be overambitiousThe S.M.A.R.T. analysis proved result and output indicators’ suitability to monitor and verify Programme’s achievements. Nonetheless, some rooms10Slide11
Collection of data and evaluation
The arrangements for the management and control system are explained in detail and are well structured, with a delimitation between institutional and procedural
partsMore detailed/clearer criteria still need to be identified for selecting Strategic Projects
Administrative
capacity
The
functions and responsibilities
of the bodies in charge of the management system are in line with the regulatory framework and well describedThe indicative list of members of the JMC identify which are the institutions and organizations which will take part in the work of this body, though it must be completedThese adjustments should lead to the simplification of the JMCThe Programme may involve advisory bodies in the work of the JMCEx-ante evaluation main findings: Indicators, monitoring and evaluation 2/2
