Investment Climate Reforms Program - Subprograms 1 and 2)

Multidimensional programs need to have a balance on types of indicators but should take care to ensure that progress in threshold indicators can be properly recognized in the design and monitoring framework (DMF). Only 9 of the 12 unique output indicators between subprograms 1 and 2 had been achieved or almost achieved. Of these 9 achieved output indicators, 7 were binary , i.e., they only take the value of achieved or not achieved. The output indicators not achieved had specific numerical targets that had not been met. This indicates that more complex targets are more challenging, but not impossible, to achieve. It also stresses the importance of having a balance on types of indicators but taking care to ensure that progress in threshold indicators are properly identified in the DMF.
