PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Impact Impact Measure the quality and quantity of long-term results generated by programme outputs. Measure the intermediate results generated by programme outputs. They often correspond to any change in people’s behaviour as a result of programme. Outcome Outcome Measure the quantity, quality and timeliness of the products — goods or services — that are the result of an activity/project/programme. Output Output Measure the progress of activities in a programme/project and the way these are carried out . Process Process Input Input Measure the quantity, quality and timeliness of resources provided for an activity/project/programme.
EXAMPLE Impact Impact Reduction in morbidity and mortality Proportion of target population who meet prescribed standards of behaviour Outcome Outcome Number whose behaviour change Output Output Number whose opinions change Number who learn the facts Number who read the literature Process Process Number of people who receive the literature Input Input Amount of literature distributed Number of pieces of literature available for distribution
