Performance Indicators: Readers’ Digest Edition 1 Performance indicator: definition A measure of a situation to detect any change. A feature or characteristic used to measure whether, and/or the extent to which, a stated result has been achieved. 2 Performance indicator: concept Using indicators to support program management involves: - establishing the baseline (to determine the situation at the beginning of the planning period) - setting a target (commitment) - measuring achievement (actual result) The baseline, target and achievement are values of the indicator at different times. 3 How many indicators? The fewer indicators per stated result the better 4 Indicators: technical qualities Sound indicators have the following qualities: • Validity: The measurement captures what it is . supposed to measure • Reliability: The measurement is consistent and comparable across time and place • Sensitivity: The measurement can detect the extent and direction of the change during the . required timeframe 5 Indicators: practical qualities The chosen indicator(s) should be: Simple: consensus on meaning, easy to interpret, to assess and to use Practical: timely data collection, at reasonable cost Useful: for decision-making, and learning for better planning and implementation 6 Indicators: Essential Traits • CREAM: Clear, Relevant, Economical, Adequate, Monitorable • QQTP: Quantity, Quality, Time, and Place or Population • DOPA: Direct (closely related to the intended change), Objective (operationalized and unambiguous), Practical (reasonable cost combined with high utility), and Adequate (no more or less than what’s necessary to measure intended change) 7 In summary, good indicators are… • Relevant to the stated result • Reliable signals that convey information about real changes • Objectively verifiable and not just subjective in their nature • Measurable with reasonable cost and effort • Helpful to managers: – in assessing whether the program is successful in achieving results – in improving the program 8 MDG Indicators #1-- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Target 1: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day 1.
