A strong and clear DMF is crucial for tracking project results. It is only possible to measure progress if the DMF has strong and clear performance indicators and targets which include definitions and baselines. During the design stage, these components need to be clearly defined to strengthen project readiness. At completion, the clear indicators and targets will provide an appropriate measurement of results that can reflect the actual achievements at completion. To ensure the formulation of a well-grounded DMF, an examination of results chain and risk analysis at the onset can identify the deficiencies in the framework that could affect the achievement of the expected output and outcome indicators.
