Workshop on Strategic Programming, Monitoring and evaluationFocusing on Performance and REsultsMadrid, 22 February 2013Ines HartwigDG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion
Performance orientation • Link to Europe 2020 is essential • Intervention logic to address challenges identified in country specific recommendations and NRP • Drafting the strategy shall not start from a blank sheet of paper but shall be based on previous analytical work in the context of Europe 2020
Indicators • They are key to monitoring • Financial, output and result – no impact indicators • Indicators need a definition • The Regulation establishes a legal obligation on the Member State to process micro data
Common ESF indicators • Capture outputs, immediate and longer-term results • OPs shall always report against all common indicators
Common ESF result indicators Only for a sample of participants. Only reported in 2019 and 2023
Programme-specific indicators • In addition to common indicators • Result indicators linked to the supported participant or entity YES: participants aged 20 or younger starting an apprenticeship NO: share of young people aged 20 or younger in apprenticeship
Baseline and targets • Baselines for result indicators • Cumulative target values for 2022 • Targets are quantified for common indicators (in absolute numbers or shares/rates) and quantified or qualitative for programme-specific result indicators
Example for baselines, indicators, targets for early school leaving • Baselines: • national/regional early school leaving rate, or: • Early school leaving rate at the X% or X worst performing schools in the region/MS • Indicators: • Output: no of schools supported • Result: no. of early school leavers at supported schools • Result Target: • early school leaving rate at supported schools, or: • Reduction of early school leaving rate at supported schools by X% (in comparison to before support)
Annual Implementation reports (AIR) • The first AIR in 2016, covering 2014 and 2015 • Simplified reports in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 • Reports of a more strategic nature in 2017, 2019 & 2023 • All data needs to be provided in order for a report to be admissible
Guidance documents • ESF Guidance on monitoring and evaluation • ERDF/CF Guidance on monitoring and evaluation • Guidance on ex ante evaluation (ERDF, ESF, CF) • Guidance on counterfactual impact evaluations – to be published in December 2012 • Technical paper on ESF programme-specific indicators
Performance Framework (1) • Set at priority axis level, per fund and per category of region, but consistency of the performance framework across programmes and funds • Uses key implementation steps, financial, output and – where appropriate - result indicators • Milestones for 2018, targets for 2022 • Milestones & Targets use a subset of the indicators (except for implementation steps) • Indicators must be representative of the priority axis
Performance Framework (2) • Milestones: • For 2016 and 2018 for indicators which are a subset of those in the OP • Targets for 2022 • Milestones and Targets: • financial indicators (2016, 2018, 2022) • key implementation steps (2016) • output indicators (2016, 2018, 2022) • result indicators (2018, 2022) • Milestones and targets report actual achievements but can be changed if justified
Performance Reserve and Review • 5% of resources not allocated to programmes • No competition between MS – reserve per Fund, Member State and category of region • Allocated following the review in 2019 • Allocation to priority axes where milestones have been achieved – based on Member State proposal
MFF Agreement Performance Framework All Member States shall establish a national performance reserve for the Investment for growth and jobs goal of cohesion policy, as well as for EAFRD and EMFF, consisting of 7% of their total allocation
