Programme Performance Assessment in Results-based Management

Session 2

As a final step in planning, you should decide how much time you will need to collect the data and who on your staff will be responsible for this. Time estimates are crucial. Some methods require very little time, as when internal records data are compiled (such as hit counts on websites). Other methods, like surveys of users in Member States take a longer time.

The issue of who is responsible for each task is important. In most self-evaluations, all of the staff of a programme should be involved. The planning issue is who is best qualified to collect data on what indicator. This involves paying attention to the staff background and interests.
