Intermediate Targets and Outcome Profile

| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Is it mandatory for all interventions to encode intermediate targets? | OPSYS automatically generates intermediate targets for outcome and output indicators if no intermediate targets are encoded. Intermediate targets are not required for impact indicators. They can be adjusted or removed to better reflect reality. These intermediate targets are not contractually binding but will be used to assess the performance of the intervention. The performance at the indicator level can be assessed by comparing the current value (actual) with the intermediate target (expected) for the same date. |
| Why do the intermediate targets keep reappearing in the Logframe even after deleting them? | Intermediate targets are automatically generated when selecting an “Outcome profile.” Use the trash icon to delete them. If this fails, it may be a technical bug—contact the Helpdesk at: EC-FUNDING-TENDER-SERVICE-DESK@EC.EUROPA.EU |
| Error with "Outcome profile" form when loading logframe | The "Outcome profile" should appear upon clicking on “Create logframe.” If not, contact the Helpdesk: EC-FUNDING-TENDER-SERVICE-DESK@EC.EUROPA.EU |
| Is it possible to change the Outcome profile once the logframe has been approved? | Yes, the Outcome profile can be adjusted without restrictions even if the logframe has been approved. However, a justification of the change should be provided in the dedicated pop up window. Once the changes have been saved, the status of the Logframe will automatically changed to "Draft" and should be resubmitted for approval of the Operational Manager. |
| Do interventions that follow the Outcome Profile C (i.e. no progress until end) need to have intermediate indicators? Or would it be sufficient if during the interim reporting we just report the current value of the indicator? | The current values for all indicators should be updated when a progress report has been produced regardless their outcome or output profile. If there is no progression for an indicator, encode 0. If data could not be collected, encode "NA" and provide a justification in the comment section. |
