Performance indicators specify the means for measuring whether the outcome has occurred

(g) Data reflecting the achievements in the biennium 2006 2007 will be recorded and used for reporting, as well as being used as baselines in order to show progress towards achieving outcomes in the programme and budget of the subsequent biennium.

Table 4 Performance by outcome indicator sub goal 1 Local governance

Let our future commitment be result based and performance oriented.

Actual performance in achieving outcomes is measured by pre determined, time bound performance indicators.

The Advisory Committee is of the view that cost sharing should be applied and the results systematically reported in performance reports.

The review itself would serve to promote organizational learning in improving performance for results.

The present report assesses actual performance against the planned results based frameworks set out in the 2004 05 budget.

The present report assesses actual performance against the planned results based frameworks set out in the 2004 05 budget.

The system has the basic objective of creating a fair, equitable, transparent and measurable system of performance management in support of a results based culture that recognizes and rewards excellent performance while adequately addressing underperformance.

The present report assesses actual performance against planned results based frameworks set out in the 2004 05 budget.

The present report assesses actual performance against the planned results based frameworks set out in the 2004 05 budget.

Too many countries seem to be focused more on political outcomes than on economic performance.

Therefore, on both the project activity and the organizational strategic levels, focused efforts towards results orientation and performance measurements are well under way.

A performance appraisal system should also be integrated into results based budgeting to improve its implementation.

(d) Based on experience, improvements and refinements will be gradually introduced to ensure the accurate formulation of objectives and expected outcomes and the establishment of key performance indicators for the measurement of outcomes

Because the effectiveness of any given performance monitoring system is a function of the quality of the defined results and indicators designed to measure the progress towards achievement of those results, assistance to managers should also focus upstream on improving the definition of results and indicators.

To avoid rewards for short term performance and focus on long term results, pay structures need to be re designed.

A major effort was thus undertaken to ensure the full commitment of staff to the principles of RBM being adopted and to determine the relevant performance indicators.

The logical framework provided managers with the basic tool for articulating the raison d'être of the programmes and programme components (objectives), defining the benefits to end users as a consequence of outputs in order to meet the objective (outcomes) and indicating yardsticks for the expected outcomes (performance indicators).

The aim is to bring together the financial and programme performance aspects of planning, monitoring and evaluation and to incorporate the day to day needs of programme managers in the larger results based management framework.

The office of the Director General and the office of the Comptroller General reviewed the submissions for ensuring overall consistency of the major programmes programmes and components with major policy documents, and ensuring compliance with the principles of RBM and RBB by reviewing outcomes, performance indicators and outputs.

UNDP should establish a task force to produce a clear, realistic plan for adding RCA performance criteria and adjusting procedures.

The Working Group concluded that while the Secretariat has made significant efforts to introduce results based management principles and related systems, the change towards results oriented planning, budgeting and performance assessment is not yet complete.

Moreover, at a time when performance based government is increasingly the norm, managing for results systems are becoming critical links between resources and results.

The Government Performance Project findings were instructive in identifying how Governments organize the basic management systems central to good governance and public administration.

The basic thrust is fully in compliance with one of the central features of the United Nations wide reforms the emphasis on improving performance through the adoption of RBM.

In the performance report (A 59 657), the outputs delivered by the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) during the period under review were shown in results based frameworks, grouped by components.

The reports on UNHCR field offices have over the years mentioned a significant percentage of performance as below average, with negative findings echoing those of the Board.

28B.23 The Division will focus on improving the presentation of budgets and performance reports and strengthening the results based frameworks, as well as making resource requirements and expenditure information more transparent.

In the context of the results based presentation, the performance report demonstrates the actual performance of the offices and departments concerned against the baselines that were established as part of the 2003 04 budget.

To measure institutional performance, UNDP has produced a new corporate scorecard', which has inspired other mainstream agencies and donors to do likewise.

With regard to results based budgeting, some of the performance indicators were not specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound (SMART).

Some performance engineering activities related to performance testing should be executed in this phase.

Optimizing the Eurozone

(e) Provides support services for official high level visitors to Headquarters, and coordinates protocol and other aspects of the participation of Heads of State and Government in sessions of the General Conference.

The series itself consists of reports JIU REP 2004 6, on implementation of results based management in the United Nations organizations, JIU REP 2004 7, on delegation of authority and accountability and JIU REP 2004 8, on managing performance and contracts.

UNRWA agrees that on the broader topic of results based management, policies and procedures should be established in order to enhance strategic planning, set targets, monitor processes, promote effective management decisions and report on performance.

There are important caveats. The Government Performance Project model did not measure performance per se.
