Performance Measurement Framework

Performance Measurement Framework To assess the performance of its projects, GAIN uses a comprehensive performance measurement framework. The performance measurement framework was designed following a review of performance tools used by other international organizations. Results are specified over the short, medium and long term, and are articulated as a set of 17 indicators. The indicators are standardized to the greatest degree possible, thus allowing GAIN and its partners to compare performance across the portfolio of projects. Organizational Targets Under the performance measurement framework, eight targets have been set – including reach of GAIN’s programs, expected reductions in the prevalence of vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and public as well as private sector commitment to GAIN’s programs. The targets also emphasize efficient program delivery by setting benchmarks for cost-effectiveness and maximum overheads. Measuring performance against these targets guides GAIN in redirecting resources where appropriate to maximize impact.
