2016.2 Monitoring & Reporting 2019

EU Monitoring & Reporting Monitoring is a continuous and systematic process of data collection about an intervention. It generates factual information for future evaluation and impact assessments and helps identify actual implementation problems. Monitoring is necessary to allow policy makers and stakeholders to check if policy implementation is ‘on track’ and to generate information that can be used to evaluate whether it has achieved its objectives. While monitoring looks at “what” changes have occurred since the entry into force of a policy intervention, evaluation looks at "whether" the intervention has been effective in reaching its objectives, and whether the objectives have been met efficiently (i.e. at least cost), as well as the reasons for the success or otherwise of an intervention.

Objectives 2016.2 Gather information on M&R issues, information needs, relevant indicators Survey needed? Can we reuse MS 2016 reports? Review monitoring and reporting Review monitoring/reporting indicators and process To be metadata-based Maximally automated In line with better regulation intervention logic Serving implementation, application, compliance progress monitoring Priorities Objective 1: Make a list of proposed (legal) changes (corrections, technological /scientific adaptations, legal chanegs)to the Reporting Decision for the MIG/Committee June 2017 Objective 2: Draft indicator framework.

(Draft … very draft ) Proposal for example to elaborate the approach on the indicator framework Part of the indicator screening will be the definition of a comprehensive set of KPI’s (Output, Outcome and Impact) and objectives that guide and monitor INSPIRE implementation. Example (for scene-setting purposes): Objective: "Spatial data relevant to environmental reporting obligations is available" Action plan: Develop a rolling list of priority data sets. Make available as-is by Q2/2017. Include EUR-Lex keyword in metadata. Possible key indicators to measure the performance of the action (KPI): Output indicator: Number/Percentage of data sets with Eur-Lex keyword Output indicator: Accessibility of spatial data to be reported under environmental reporting obligations for viewing (%) Output indicator: Accessibility of spatial data to be reported under environmental reporting obligations for downloading (%) Outcome indicator: Accessibility of spatial data to be reported under the AQD (%) Outcome indicator: Availability of required spatial data for the integrated assessment of biodiversity and agricultural land use (%) Impact indicator: Number of priority spatial datasets available in the European open data portal.
