Measuring key results achievements.

72. Possibly because of the relative novelty of environmental performance measurement, it appears that there is no one single accepted way of defining or measuring environmental performance.

Efficiency is reflected, i.e. measured in terms of performance.

C. Best practice in measuring and communicating environmental performance

(a) Public and non profit performance measurement, including balanced scorecard methods

It is possible to construe the analysis as a measure of management performance, and some have done so.

Staffing efficiency is only one measure of the cost efficiency of procurement performance.

Expected accomplishments will be measured by the indicators of achievement and related performance measures.

The additional contributions can be measured through the previously formulated indicators of achievements identified as no change , as well as additional or revised indicators of achievement.

(a) Intersessional departures for 2005 and related matters

In paragraph 65 of its report, the Board recommended that UNU identify measurable quantifiable targets, accomplishments and performance indicators to improve the performance measurement process, reflect the real performance of projects and programmes and be able to link the physical accomplishments with financial expenditures.

Performance measurement of the procurement function

to identify and record the methods being used by leading edge companies to measure and communicate environmental performance

developing single (or multiple) index models to give an aggregate environmental performance

The extent to which progress has been made against the expected accomplishments is presented in the results based frameworks, which compare actual indicators of achievement with planned indicators of achievement.

D. Methods used by leading edge enterprises in measuring and communicating environmental performance

(b) Achieving significant and measurable results in the field of demand reduction by the year 2008.

(c) Adopt performance measures for countries

73. The generic categories of environmental performance indicators identified by James and Bennett (1994) provide perhaps a useful synthesis of the current approach to monitoring, measuring and reporting environmental performance.

Achievable targets needed to be formulated against which to measure UNIDO's performance in assisting the industrialization efforts of the developing countries.

The Government Performance Project model did not measure performance per se.

Each subprogramme of the Division establishes performance targets in specific service areas to gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of their performance.

Under indicator of achievement (b), reword the performance measures to read

With respect to measurement and evaluation, a Popperian paradigm is appropriate because it is often the case that, while it is difficult to measure or know what is effective, it may be possible to measure and know what is not effective.

Add an indicator of achievement (f) and corresponding performance measures, reading

The development and transfer of technology depends on appropriate incentives.

Notes that some indicators of achievement reflected in the budgets and budget performance reports appear to measure the performance of Member States, and requests the Secretary General to ensure that the purpose of the indicators of achievement is not to assess the performance of Member States but, where possible, to reflect the contributions by peacekeeping missions to the expected accomplishments and objectives in keeping with their respective mandates

(viii) Identify appropriate key performance indicators for the performance management of external audit services

Recalls that in paragraph 9 of its resolution 55 231, the General Assembly requested the Secretary General to ensure that, in presenting the programme budget, expected accomplishments and, where possible, indicators of achievement are included to measure achievements in the implementation of the programmes of the Organization and not those of individual Member States

It should be added in this respect that the General Assembly and ACABQ have called for a system for measuring the cost effectiveness of procurement performance by the organizations.

(b) There were no performance measures and targets to assist management in monitoring and assessing the efficiency of procurement activities.

The Advisory Committee is of the opinion that indicators of achievement and performance measures need to be presented in a quantifiable and more transparent and consistent manner.
