2. What is a Performance Indicator?
‘Indicators are signposts of change along the path to development. They describe the way to track intended results and are critical for monitoring and evaluation.’
UNDP PME Handbook 2009

3. Why have Performance Indicators?

4. Performance Indicator Purpose
Performance Quality Reporting Planning

5. Performance Indicator Purpose
Measure progress and achievements, as understood by the different stakeholders
Measure extent to which planned results have been achieved
Clarify consistency between activities, outputs, outcomes and impacts

Clarify consistency between activities, outputs, outcomes and impacts
Quality
Inform decision making for ongoing programme or project management
Continual improvement for a strategy, programme, project or activity
redesign
Prompt corrective action; Timely risk management
Assess project and staff performance

12. Indicative Strategic Goals
Goal 1: To release all known mined and cluster munitions contaminated areas by 2025
Goal 2: To minimise mine/ERW causalities and improve victims’ livelihoods
Goal 3: To contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction
Goal 4: To ensure sustainable national capacities to address residual mine/ERW contamination
Goal 5: To promote stability and regional and international disarma

13. Indicative Strategy Goals
Goal 1: To release all known mined and cluster munitions contaminated areas by 2025
+ Complete baseline survey throughout the country by 2017.
+ Release known mined areas from the most impacted communities by 2020.
+ Release remaining known mined areas by 2025.
+ Use evidence-based survey to define and release known cluster munition contaminated areas by 2025.
Goal 2: To minimise mine/ERW causalities and improve victims’ livelihoods
+ Provide effective & appropriately prioritized mine/ERW risk education
+ Support mine/ERW survivors &their families to receive adequate medical care, physical rehabilitation & livelihood assistance
+ Address public safety issues by removing residual threats requested by the communities and authorities.
Goal 3: To contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction
+ Support local development priorities in communities affected by mines/ERW.
+ Support national & sub-national development priorities.

14. SMART Indicators
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time Bound

15. SMART Indicators Specific: enough to measure progress
Articulated in clearly understood text without ambiguity
Measurable: a clear & reliable measure of results (not always)
Attainable: Must be realistic
Relevant: ie to outputs and outcomes, impact
Time Bound: At reasonable cost and effort
(Useful, not overly complicated, must serve a purpose)

20. Types of indicators We can use: Intuitive indicators Impact Indicators
Output Indicators
Outcome Indicators

21. Types of indicators We can use:
Intuitive indicators: Progress we are unable to measure, but we can see benefits.
Impact Indicators:
Output Indicators
Outcome Indicators

22. Types of indicators We can use:
Intuitive indicators: Progress we are unable to measure, but we can see benefits.
Impact Indicators: The changes in peoples lives or development opportunities. Indicators of change in development conditions or opportunities. Eg people are not so poor because they are producing more food
Output Indicators
Outcome Indicators

23. Types of indicators We can use:
Intuitive indicators: Progress we are unable to measure, but we can see benefits.
Impact Indicators: The changes in peoples lives or development opportunities. Indicators of change in development conditions or opportunities. Eg people are not so poor because they are producing more food
Output Indicators Assesses Quantified progress against specific outputs. Sq Km, no. of accidents
Outcome Indicators

24. Types of indicators We can use:
Intuitive indicators: Progress we are unable to measure, but we can see benefits.
Impact Indicators: The changes in peoples lives or development opportunities. Indicators of change in development conditions or opportunities. Eg people are not so poor because they are producing more food
Output Indicators Assesses Quantified progress against specific outputs. Sq Km, no. of accidents
Outcome Indicators Assesses Quantified progress against specific outcomes. More productive land (sq Km), fewer accidents

25. Types of data used in the Indicators
Quantitative and Qualitative indicators
Number, percentage, rate (eg x per 1,000), Ratio (eg No. of hill tribes/women/youth/casualties per No. of X Percentage), proportion annual growth, extent to which overall conclusion, based on records, reports, surveys
Qualitative: judgement, opinions, perceptions, attitudes, sense of well being
Compliance with, eg mine awareness education mRE, quality of, extent of, level of
Proxy: Less direct. Eg a sample client survey. Greater satisfaction may show improved services

29. Outcome indicators at strategic level
Sample Outcomes
Sample Indicators (What can we see , measure, deduce, observe to know if change is being achieved)
Released land in most seriously impacted communities available for agriculture.
Proxy/survey: Representative sample areas recorded as under cultivation
Quantifiable: x sq Km measured: dbase reporting indicates x sq km area cleared/released
Qualitative: Sharp reduction of injuries attributed to effectiveness of MRE messages
