USAID policy (Automated Directives System 203.3.2, ? Performance Management) defines performance management as a systematic process of monitoring program achievements and collecting and analyzing performance information to track progress toward planned results.
As part of USAID performance management policy (ADS 203.3.4.5, ? Setting Performance Baselines and Targets), missions should collect baseline data to determine the value of performance indicators prior to USAID interventions.
General Recommendations
- Develop and implement a cost-effective written plan to measure the impact of activities.
