Performance Monitoring Indicators Handbook

This handbook introduces and supplements the notes on suggested performance monitoring indicators for each of the main sectors in which the bank is active. It is divided into three sections. The first section explains why menus of indicators were developed; provides the background on the logical framework and typology of indicators; describes how indicators are developed and applied in project design, supervision, and evaluation; and discusses important issues related to the meaningful use of indicators. The second session describes the sector notes on indicators and their use and explains how to get copies. The third section provides examples of performance indicators developed for Bank-financed projects and shows how the indicators were developed on the basis of each projects' development objectives.
