Learning from the Pilots (12 cases in 8 MS)
The new approach is feasible but not without a significant change in the
practice of those designing programmes
None of the pilot regions currently use result indicators in the manner
proposed by the Commission. 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.

In 2012 the Commission provided each Member State with a country
position paper outlining the analysis of the Commission services of the
main challenges and funding priorities relevant for the European Structural
and Investment Funds (ESI Funds) in the programming period 2014-2020
These position papers, and the ensuing dialogue with the Commission,
should serve to guide the elaboration of the Partnership Agreement both in
terms of its content, in particular in relation to the prioritisation of
development needs and concentration of support, as well as in terms of
the presentation of information.
