Results and Indicators

Resource
EU-official
In these pages users can find help to identify the appropriate results frameworks and indicators for EU-funded external action interventions. The pages are designed primarily for the intervention design phase, but are also useful during implementation, monitoring, reporting, and evaluation.

Search thematic indicators

In the table below you can find all indicators included in all thematic Results and Indicators for Development guidance. This table serves as a searching engine for users to facilitate and speed up the search of the indicators suggested in the guidance. The sector indicators listed in the table are examples of measurable indicators associated to each result statement provided in the different guidance, that may be used in Logframe Matrices at project / programme level. These sectorial indicators draw on specific sectorial documents and on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Gender Action Plan (GAP III), Global Europe Results Framework (GERF), NDICI Regulation, FPI Performance Framework, IPA III Results Framework among others. Many of these indicators are flagged as “Core indicators” because they are part of the core indicators in OPSYS. Click here for more information about the core indicators available in OPSYS.

The indicator refers to the total number of hectares where, with support from the EU, farmers have introduced/piloted sustainable land management practices aimed at reverting soil erosion, enhancing fertility, increasing biodiversity, improving water management or reducing chemical inputs. A similar indicator can follow up on this at outcome level, to see to what extent the farmers continue to follow these practices once the EU-funded intervention has ended.
