Results and Indicators for Development

Resource
The guidance on thematic results and indicators covers DG INTPA strategies in various sectors, aiming to enhance the quality of our interventions – in terms of design, monitoring in the course of implementation. It also aims to promote the use of standardized information across European Union-funded interventions in partner countries. DG INTPA unit in charge of monitoring results (D.4) and thematic units developed the guidance.

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.

Sustainable land management practices encompass a vast array of agricultural techniques. Although non exhaustive, the main practices to be considered are: i)Rational use of mineral fertilisers, ii)Integrated pest management, iii)Improved soil organic matter, iv)Grassland development, improvement and rehabilitation, v)Management of crop rotation, vi)Cultivation of green cover crops, vii)Rainwater harvesting, vii)Irrigation, viii)Agroforestry (land-use systems and practices where woody perennials are deliberately integrated with crops and/or animals on the same land management unit).

2. Is a legume, nut or seed
3. Is an animal-sourced food, including dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese), eggs, organ meat, flesh foods, and other miscellaneous small animal protein (e.g. grubs, insects)
