The objectives of the priorities examined were expressed in very general terms and in most cases current indicators do not capture the intended effects of the programmes. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office The results focus must become part of the development of the programme, which need a stronger and more explicit intervention logic; this cannot be added afterwards. The main change required is concentration. Many of the priorities examined were in fact an amalgamation of more or less related subpriorities which could not be expressed in only one or even two result indicators. Concentration has to be the outcome of a process of deliberation and policy choice. This emphasises the importance of political debate on the choices which should drive programme design and starting this process urgently. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office If there is concentration, this means that there will be fewer indicators. Some pilot regions had very many indicators – but none captured the motivations for policy action. Whatever result indicator is selected, baselines and targets are essential. These can be quantitative or qualitative. As a final point, it is important to recall that indicators do not tell us everything. The evolution of the result indicator should prompt a debate; it is not the last word on the performance of the policy.
