MONITORING MELIA: THE ATTEMPT TO DEFINE PROJECT
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Claudio Bogliotti
CIHEAM-IAMB
General problems when dealing with indicators
Indicators are often given without a clear link to an objective
or specific target, and well frame into a logic of intervention
Certain items are given more in the form of a goal or target,
without a clear link to performance / measurement
perspectives
Indicators are often complex, too technical and difficult to be
understood by experts of other sectors or disciplines or
stakeholders
Missing the meaning of water management indicator in term
of real contribution to sustainable development or explicit link
to sustainability criteria
Indicators in MELIA
Four levels of indicators
1. Project indicators to measure objectives
Immediate objectives (results), medium- long
term objectives (LogFrame)
2. Project performance indicators regarding
summary activities of LogFrame. Useful to
assess overall project operation
3. Task indicators (Work Package level)
4. Partner operation or inputs (man/months used,
money spent for travel, etc……)
LogFrame
Improvement of effective regional
water management to promote
sustainable development in the
Mediterranean region
Technical, socio-economic and political
exploitation of the multi-stake dialogue to
build-up and share a common knowledge
and awareness
Long term achievement
Short-Medium term achievement
