Indicators
Example of result indicator
Example of output indicators
Priority: More SMEs generating long-term jobs
Name: Growth of employment in SME sector (%)
Definition: Available (provided by NSO)
Sources: NSO
Baseline: available
Name: Number of SMEs receiving financial support
Definition: see above
Source: MA
Target: to be determined

5. Pomorskie ROP in new logical framework (1) Example for SME support (2)
Priority: More SMEs generating long-term jobs
low levels of employment persists in the regional labour market both compared with the EU and Poland
SMEs play a key role in the region’s economy
development potential of many SMEs is limited due to visible barriers in access to capital

6. Example of result indicator Example of output indicators
Pomorskie ROP in new logical framework (2) Example for transport system (1)

Indicators
Example of result indicator
Example of output indicators
Priority: Increased capacity of regional passenger railway system
Name: Growing number of users in regional railway transport (%)
Definition:
to be clarified
Source: own research
Baseline: not available (yet)
Name: Total length of reconstructed or upgraded lines (km)
Definition: determined by law
Source: beneficiaries
Target: 170 km

7. Pomorskie ROP in new logical framework (2) Example for transport system (2)
Priority: Increased capacity of regional passenger railway system
low level of integration of the public transport systems
rail services are not competitive to other means of transport (low level of regional railway network, long travel times and poor accessibility of some parts of the region to economic centres)
increasing of the mobility is a key prerequisite for improved conditions on labour market as well as in education sector

8. Conclusions and questions after the exercise
Current shape of the Pomorskie ROP could be hardly transformed by using „new-logic-of-indicators” approach
The bigger programme the harder this new approach is implementable
„point of departure” of different regions / programmes will be different and it should be taken into account in new approach
New approach requires extremely strategic choices when programming
ultra-focused approach could be objectively and politically questioned
Different focus of programmes creates problems with aggregated results
QUESTIONS
Are public (regional) statistics ready to support the new approach?
How to display a value added of the new approach for decision-makers?
