Both the cooperating sponsors and the USAID missions have a responsibility to set appropriate targets and to review and assess their relevancy on a periodic basis.
According to Performance Monitoring and Evaluation TIP No. 8, “All targets, both final and interim, should be based on a careful analysis of what is realistic to achieve, given the stage of program implementation, resource availability, country conditions, technical constraints, etc.”
ADS 203.3.2.2.b also states that USAID missions/offices should use performance information to assess progress in achieving results and to make management decisions.
