DG INTPA has created the Results & Indicators for Development Resource to assist European Commission staff and external partners involved in the preparation of action documents and the design of interventions to develop robust logical framework matrices. Through strong logical frameworks, DG INTPA, along with the rest of the External Action Directorate Generals, aims to enhance the quality of their interventions, not only in terms of design but also in terms of monitoring during implementation. This process gains valuable information about the impact of actions and where future efforts should be aimed.

To ensure the highest quality of the EU-funded interventions and their results, DG INTPA’s Unit D.4 (Quality and Results, Evaluation, Knowledge Management) provides step-by-step guidance on Results and Indicators through this Resource. Here, you can find all essential information on methodological approaches, the External Action Services’ Results Frameworks, and concepts, such as corporate/predefined/thematic/customised indicators.

DG INTPA and the European Commission have created methodologies to enhance the capacity of the staff and EU partners around the world. The Intervention Cycle Management Guide (ICM Guide) promotes better use of all guidance, proposes a series of methodological fiches highlighting the main characteristics of each methodology or tool, aligned to each phase of the cycle.
