• Develop curriculum .

The Horizontal Logic:
•The statement of goal, purpose, outputs & activities
(inputs) frequently are subject to different
interpretations by those involved with the project.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Measure the quality and quantity of long-term results
Impac generated by programme outputs.
t
Measure the intermediate results generated by programme
Outco outputs. They often correspond to any change in people’s
me behaviour as a result of programme.

Indicators Selection
Choice of appropriate indicators is a task
that requires
- Experience and skill,
- thorough understanding of the information
needs of management at various levels,
- Knowledge of how best to obtain the data
for the indicators and
- the limits imposed by both costs &
techniques.

The development and selection of
indicators should be participatory as
far as possible.

Steps in Selecting Indicators
01/27/23 35
Simplicity/Unambiguous Definition: Simple and clearly defined
in the project’s context. For example, what does a ‘user’ of a
project-supplied services such as condom distribution mean?
Does it include all persons who bought the condom, or those
who sometimes use it or only those who strictly uses during
every sexual intercourse?

Cost-Effectiveness/Ease of Data Collection: Identify
and select indicators for which data, time
and resources (budget) is available.

Example: effectiveness of ‘behavioral change
communication in HIV/AIDS prevention’ projects may
best be measured directly by reduced death rates
related to the virus. But these are difficult to determine
over short period of the project life.
