(e) To undertake an evaluation of rations performance standards and indicators to determine their compliance with industry standards (ibid., para. 44)

ISO 14001 is not a performance standard.

9. There were no performance measures and targets to assist management in monitoring and assessing the efficiency of procurement activities (para. 7 (b)).

(a) Introduce a standard evaluation form to document performance assessments for all consultants, covering the extent to which they met deadlines, budgets and objectives

29. The UNFPA thematic evaluation of execution modalities has provided a conceptual framework for the evaluation and performance standards for executing agencies.

The ISO 14000 series also comprises standards for environmental labelling, environmental performance evaluation, life cycle assessment, and the related terms and definitions.

The ISO 14001 standard, however, does not state specific environmental performance criteria.

Performance appraisal

In indicator of achievement (b) (ii), delete against core standards .

To gain maximum benefit from these performance indicators, monitoring and evaluation are being enhanced.

Owing in part to the delay in implementing and monitoring CarLog, the Board noted deficiencies in the controls for prevention of the abuse of United Nations vehicles at the following missions MINUSTAH, UNFICYP, UNMIK, UNMEE, UNMISET and UNOCI.

C. Millennium Development Goal 8 criteria for evaluation

16. Requests the Secretary General to develop standard procedures for the preparation of performance evaluation reports on suppliers, as requested by the General Assembly in paragraph 15 of its resolution 51 231

32. The challenge in support activities over the next few years will be to establish norms and standards and performance indicators that can provide an analytical basis for performance monitoring and assessments.

(ii) Updated proposals for workload standards, efficiency and related performance indicators

22. The use of performance criteria or indicators would help in evaluating the achievements of the projects in their progress towards attainment of expected results.

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

The Evaluation Office will focus on enhancing evaluation standards and developing an organizational policy aligned with norms and standards recently approved by the United Nations Evaluation Group.

Criteria based approaches share a common assumption that organizations meeting key elements of critical criteria have the capacity to be effective and high performing, even if no specific performance measures are analysed.

In addition, a self evaluation had been undertaken by the Evaluation Office, using as benchmarks the new Norms and Standards for Evaluation in the United Nations System.

It should be noted that there is a strong relationship between the categories of EPI identified below and those being developed for internal environmental management purposes by the International Standards Organisation (ISO ISO 14031 Environmental Performance Evaluation).

Criteria based assessments, in contrast, describe conditions or parameters against which potential performance and capacity can be gauged.

Performance evaluation of suppliers

Evaluation of performance of consultants

To serve any useful purpose, evaluations should be done on a regular basis and follow common norms and standards.

Also, they should build in clear goals and quantifiable targets as well as performance indicators to enable effective follow up, monitoring and evaluation.

Both managers and staff had recognized the value of the overall concepts of work planning, ongoing monitoring, feedback and appraisal and their potential contribution to the development of a performance based management culture, and had appreciated the fact that the PAS was based on pre established performance expectations and not ex post facto evaluation, as in the past.

That process may also assist in the development of baseline data and performance indicators by which the effectiveness of both the assistance and the enhancement of criminal justice may be evaluated.

Delete indicator of achievement (a) (i) and delete (ii) in indicator of achievement (a) (ii).

Delete indicator of achievement (b) (ii) and delete (i) in indicator of achievement (b) (i).

Through evaluation reports, laboratories are also able to monitor their own performance against their national requirements and the performance of peer laboratories.

The morning meeting on Wednesday addressed criteria for evaluation of goal 8.

In indicator of achievement (ii), performance measures (target 2004 2005), replace 80 per cent of benchmarks with 100 per cent of benchmarks within expected time frame .

This idea of capacity as a platform for performance is central to the rationale for capacity assessment (although the term used here is capacity for performance, the criteria based approach can be applied to other dimensions of performance, such as quality, as well).

Indicator of achievement (c) should become (c) (i) add an indicator (c) (ii), reading (ii) The level of recovery of erroneous or unauthorized expenditures and add under the corresponding performance measures To be determined .

(e) Performance indicators

Develop criteria for evaluating alternatives.

(c) Performance evaluation for all officials, including senior officials, with objectives and performance indicators the development of the Performance Appraisal System (PAS) is an essential part of this evaluation process

The most recent evaluation generally found the Fund's performance to be quite strong.

That would ensure an accurate assessment of the Department's overall performance.

The criteria suggest that the performance appraisal system should be as simple as possible and be structured to provide clear communication between staff about the expected and actual performance performance ratings should be applied objectively and accurately there should be an automatic process for review and approval of the performance ratings and the consequences for different levels of performance should be known to staff.

Although significant, these figures do not represent the measures by which the Programme assesses its effectiveness.
