It provides an overview of PM4SD and its principles, as well as how it can be integrated into organizational culture. Three case studies are presented that demonstrate how PM4SD has been applied: 1) improving tourism infrastructure in Lebanon, 2) implementing sustainability indicators in Italy's Piedmont region, and 3) establishing a destination management organization in Bulgaria. Key PM4SD tools for capacity building discussed include stakeholder mapping, product-based planning, and communication planning.
The OECD developed a composite indicator to identify green budgeting practices across 14 OECD countries. The indicator assessed countries based on 4 building blocks: strategic framework, tools and methods, accountability and transparency, and enabling environment. Most countries have some practices in place, like strategic plans, environmental impact assessments, and training programs. The OECD will refine the indicator based on country feedback and update it annually to track the evolution of green budgeting over time. The indicator aims to help countries learn from each other's approaches and advance green budgeting.
This document provides an introduction to strategic environmental assessment (SEA), including its purpose, principles, process, and emerging directions. SEA involves systematically analyzing the environmental impacts of policies, plans, and programs to support sustainable development decisions. It differs from environmental impact assessment (EIA) in applying earlier in the decision-making process and covering a broader scope. Key principles of good SEA practice include being integrated, adaptive, sustainability-oriented, and participatory. The main steps of SEA involve screening, scoping, detailed assessment, and follow-up such as monitoring. Challenges to effective SEA include acceptance, assessing cumulative impacts, integration across sectors, and public participation.

The document summarizes the findings of the AID-EE project, which evaluated 20 energy efficiency policies across Europe. Key lessons learned include: objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound to guide policy; the impact of individual policies is difficult to isolate as most use packages with interacting instruments; and monitoring and evaluation have been a low priority, despite being important to determine policy effects and efficiency. A policy theory approach that defines clear objectives, indicators and expected relationships can help design, monitor and evaluate policies.

The document outlines the GEF-6 proposed Sustainable Cities Integrated Approach Program (IAP). The IAP aims to integrate global environmental considerations into city management through planning, design, and actions to support sustainability goals. It proposes a common platform using consistent metrics, tools, and sustainability plans to connect urban actions to global impacts across multiple cities and partners. The framework would provide integrated policy support, priority initiative demonstrations, financial mechanisms, and partnerships at the country/city level, coordinated at a global level. The total proposed resource is $55 million from GEF trust funds to support global/regional programs and matched country programs.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

2. • Options for basic institutional forms:
• What does programming imply?
• Context of programming
• Critical elements of programming
• Input to programming – environmental strategy, policy
and regulations
• Expenditure and non-expenditure programme
• Who should programme?
• Essential skills
• Programme implementation
• Conclusions
Structure of the presentation
3. What does programming imply?
• Process to articulate goals and objectives of an
environmental protection plan
• Dialogue on substance and meaning of the goals and
objectives
• Work to assess environmental benefits to be achieved by
the programme
• Activity to describe eligibility and appraisal criteria for
the programme
• Attempt to define and establish the best concept to
implement the essential activities of the programme and
its implementation mechanism
4. Context of programming
- strategy (needs and problems)
- policy (priority elements)
- plan (essential activities)
- framework (legal and
institutional)
- human health, environmental protection,
nature conservation
- air, water, nature, solid waste
- waste water treatment, emission
reduction, waste collection
- law, regulations, enforcement
- programming (non-expenditure
and expenditure programmes)
- priorities for programming
- setting programme targets
- costing a programme
- priorities within a programme
- programme implementation - projects selection, appraisal and control
- post-implementation appraisal
5. Basis for successful programming
• Sustainable development strategy
• Environmental policy
• Implementation plan
• Legal and administrative regulations
• Quality of strategic documents and regulations
• Willingness to cooperate among partners
• Availability of projects ready to implement
• Enforcement and control
6. Non-expenditure programme
• Goals and objectives to be achieved without public
subsidies
• Non-expenditure actions include legal and
administrative mechanisms (standards, taxes, fees,
permits)
• Regulatory requirements are intended to stimulate
environmentally responsible behavior
• Costs associated with environmental regulations are
borne by environmental users
• A programming entity is not expected to take part in
implementation of non-expenditure programmes
7. Expenditure programme
• Goals and objectives cannot be achieved without
subsidies
• Financial assistance to be provided to carry out
investment projects
• A programming entity needs to set minimum
requirements as to the development of a programme
• A programming entity needs to justify a cluster of
programmes accepted for implementation
• A programming entity must balance the cost of a
programme with its budget
• Programme priorities to be established to identify
eligible projects
8. Essential elements of an expenditure
programme
• Objectives: specific, measurable, realistic, time-bound
• Priorities: few, clearly stated
• Time-frame of a programme specified
• Cost estimates of achieving the objectives
• Sources of financing
• Eligible project types
• Eligible beneficiaries
• Terms of financing
• Principles and rules of operation
• Institutional arrangement for managing the
implementation of the expenditure programme
9. Emergency situations (1)
• No environmental strategy allowing for
adoption of an expenditure programme. Long
list of all-inclusive environmental problems, no
sense of urgency. The programme must be built
with assumptions concerning essential activities
to be carried out. A broad dialogue with general
public and contact with key stakeholders become
indispensable.
• The strategy lacks an implementation plan. A
wish list of actions must be scrutinised and
turned into applicable tasks.
10. Emergency situation (2)
• The implementation plan is incomplete. Too
many priorities are specified. Everything is
equally important. It is important to analyse
priorities and select their subset to be included
in a programme.
• The strategy and implementation plan are
complete and well elaborated. The responsible
government authority has developed a realistic
expenditure programme. An implementation
authority has obtained a sufficient guideline and
resources.
11. Who should programme?
• Government entities responsible for
environmental protection
• Local authorities and municipalities
• Suppliers of financing for public
expenditure programmes
• Other pubic agencies and institutions
• Programme implementation agencies if not
provided with public expenditure
programmes
12. Essential skills
• Capacity to transform goals highlighted in
strategies and policies into a set of actions
• Easy access to strategy documents
• Understanding of abilities and obligations to be
utilised and fulfilled
• Dedication to find the best way to address public
spending in environmental protection
• Willingness to cooperate with partners while
preparing a programme
• Establishing and using a feedback channel with
an implementation agent
13. Programme implementation
• The implementation agency should be capable to find
partners for reaching targets set by the programming
exercise
• Available subsidy should be distributed by an
implementation agency among efficient projects to make
them financially feasible
• Progress assessment of a programme and monitoring of
projects implementation should allow for meeting the
programme targets within a limited time
• Post implementation evaluation of the programme
should allow for improvements of both programming
and implementation
14. Conclusions
• Programming is essential for turning strategies and
policies into effective implementation
• Programming plays a role of a strategic conceptual
design that must precede effective distribution of
subsidies. Programming:
- adds a detailed description to goals and objectives
provided in strategies and policies
- presents an expected benefit (targets) to be achieved
within a limited time
- defines eligibility and appraisal criteria for successful
projects
- assesses costs
16. Structure of presentation
• Key principles
• Public versus private financing
• Selection of an expenditure programme
• Example – Swiss compensation package
• Allocation of funds
• Concentration versus dispersion of funds
• Supporting innovations
• Involving public
• Conclusions
17. Key principles
• Public funds should not replace private financing
• Expenditure programme only if public subsidy
proves to be indispensable
• Funds allocated to the expenditure programme at
a strictly justified level
• Concentration on the most pressing issues
• Encouraging the private sector to take the lead
• Introducing new techniques and technologies
• Supporting education and public participation
18. Public versus private financing
• Expenditure programme is more often selected
than non-expenditure one
• Command and control system generates external
environmental costs that need to be
compensated
• Subsidies may also lead to unjustified earnings
• Public financing creates a positive incentives and
is treated as more friendly
• Limit to public assistance in meeting
environmental requirements to assure
competition
19. Selection of an expenditure
programme
• Problems:
- availability of well prepared programmes
- legal and institutional base to select programmes
- political pressure to propose a certain programme
• Approach:
- inspect strategy documents and policies
- check internal and external obligations
- monitor quality of environmental resources
- consult with scientists and NGOs
- compare costs and benefits

22. Example (Regional waste management
system)
• Goal: encourage a selective collection of municipal
waste for population over 100 thousand people
• Information gathering: how much waste is collected
within a selective collection system, what are the legal
requirements concerning selective collection of waste,
what should be a successful project
• Eligibility criteria: project size, title to the land,
location decision and feasibility study
• Ranking criteria: level of recovery (secondary
materials, biodegradable waste), cost-effectiveness,
technical innovativeness, location in priority areas,
education package
• Benefits: at least 15% of recovery of secondary
materials, at least 25% of recovery of biodegradable
waste, reduction of deposits at the landfill by 40%
23. Example (A system to collect a
packaging wastes)
• Goal: setting up Re-Centers in large shopping chains
• Information gathering: what is the potential to recover
packaging materials, how much should be collected, how
Re-Centers operate abroad, what should be a successful
project
• Eligibility criteria: available funds to balance costs, a
multi-annual plan of operation, a contract with shopping
centers to cover operating costs
• Ranking criteria: attractive design, degree of automation
and self service, professional staffing, attractiveness of
education, future development of a Re-Center
• Benefits: PET packaging 3 000 tons, aluminum cans
300 tons, glass 12 000 tons, paper 6 000 tons, batteries
150 tons per year collected in 25 Re-Centers
24. Allocation of funds
• General budget for environmental related
programmes
• Cost-effectiveness principle
• Earmarking of funds
• One year versus several years allocation
• Adjustment of an initial allocation of funds
• Availability of effective projects
• Possibility to correct and improve an
ongoing programme
25. Concentration versus dispersion of
funds
A. Concentration
- address pressing environmental issues first
- assure a quick improvement
- invest in modern technologies
- overcome limited skills and experiences
B. Dispersion
- assist many programmes at the same time
- minimise mistakes in prioritising programmes
- avoid accusations of being biased
- accept and test many different ideas
26. Supporting innovations
• Purchase and implementation
- sectors which offer new technologies (sludge treatment,
renewable energy sources – solar, biomass, wind,
electronic separators of glass and plastic)
• Production and marketing
- expand domestic demand to make innovative
production profitable, encourage world leaders to set
branches in the country, support marketing efforts of
domestic producers
• Know-how and education
- select expenditure programmes focused on the
exchange of environmental specialists and activists
27. Involving public
• Expert panels to comment on a list of
proposed programmes and their contents
• A list of possible programmes under each
objective which were not supported
• Mobilisation of local communities to
participate (financial or in kind) in
programme implementation
• Involving public (especially NGOs) in
monitoring progress implementation and
environmental benefit
28. Conclusions
• Programming is a social and political process
• Priority expenditure programs should be
selected among many others through an open
and transparent manner
• Burning environmental issues should be
addressed first
• Concentration of efforts is accompanied by
concentration of subsidies
• Innovations should be seen as an important
element of a priority expenditure programme
30. Why needed?
• To define outcomes or impact of the entire
programme
• To assess the cost of the programme
• To measure effectiveness of subsidies
provided for the programme
• To set milestones in programme
implementation and monitor its progress
• To perform evaluation of the programme
by comparing targets with outcomes or
impacts achieved
31. What should they be? (1)
• Specific – programme objectives to be
narrowed down to a list of outcomes
important to deliver an expected result
• Measurable – outcomes or impact of the
programme should be presented by
quantifiable indicators
• Realistic – expected targets should be
technically feasible and achievable based
on available resources and experiences
• Time-bound – targets should be reached
within a time reserved for programme
implementation
32. What should they be? (2)
• Precise as much as possible
• Establishing clear boundaries between
eligible and non-eligible projects
• Separating projects that cannot apply for
subsidy
• Sharp and well defined, neither too
broadly nor too narrowly
• Directing projects towards the
implementation of the expenditure
programme
33. Example: Development of a system of selective
collection of broken glass and improvement of the
broken glass processing quality
• Problem:
- improve the glass waste collection system and provide facilities for
the glass waste to be used as secondary raw material by glassworks
• Objectives
- recycling of glass should be at the level of 60% of its production in
2015
• Targets
- limit a significant deficit of broken glass as a component of
glassmaking material (realistic)
- collect and recover waste glass to double the current level of recycling
(250 000 ton a year, 20 % of production) (measurable)
- use efficient and fully automated glass sorting technologies to
separate it by colours (specific)
34. Example: Reduction of asbestos hazard: A programme
- “1 000 Roofs Asbestos-Free” for each of the four
regions of top priority
• Problem:
- total quantity (about 15 million tons) of asbestos requires disposal until
2032
• Objectives:
- elimination of asbestos from roof coverings
• Targets:
- removal of at least 165 000 m2 of asbestos-containing roofing panels and
insulation boards that pose a hazard of asbestos emission to the
environment (measurable)
- installation of hot water pre-heating solar collector systems subsidised,
if done simultaneously with the planned roof repair work (specific)
- about 200 tons of asbestos to be removed from roof coverings in the four
priority regions (realistic)
35. Process of setting targets
• Define problem or problems that need to be
addressed. Problems need to be described to present
their scope and consequences. They pose threads to
environment and health but may also provide
opportunities
• Translate the programme into objectives to narrow
down the necessary action. There is a long list of
actions to be taken to address a chosen objective
• Identify interim steps to achieve a selected objective.
Each of them may be seen as a target to be
accomplished in order to meet a selected objective to
a possible extent
36. Methods to select targets
• Assess a scope of a problem (what if not
action to be taken)
• List of critical objectives that need to be
addressed
• Rank objectives and set a priority order
• List targets to be achieved under each
objectives
• Rank targets and set a priority order
• Assess the cost of a programme and decide
on the scale of subsidy
37. Methods to rank targets – a multi-
criteria analysis
- Design a list of criteria to be used to evaluate each target
(environmental, technical, economic, social)
- Agree on the long list of targets that contribute to
meeting a required objective
- Decide on a maximum number of points that may be
assigned to each target based on a separate criterion
- Carry out discussion among expert panel on the
importance of each target
- Assign points provided by experts to each target and
prepare a ranking list
38. A practical approach to prepare a
ranking list of targets
• Collect opinions and preferences on the
proposed targets from potential beneficiaries
• Continue ongoing programmes by expanding the
scope of already selected targets
• Request independent expert’s proposal for
designing targets for the given objectives of
expenditure programmes
• Announce competition among eligible
beneficiaries for subsidies without specifying
targets
39. Conclusions
• The expenditure programme is ready to
implement only if problems, objectives
and targets are fully designed and
discussed
• The list of targets should be specific,
realistic, measurable and time-bound
• Adequate costing of a programme depends
on the availability of well defined targets
• The implementation of each target should
also have its limit. This requires another
prioritising exercise
41. Structure of presentation
• Priority setting among targets
• Criteria to select targets
• Allocation of subsidies
• Controlling the supply of projects
• Limit to subsidies
• Cost-effectiveness
• Differentiation of priorities for investments
• Conclusions
42. Priority setting among targets
• Expenditure programme does not specify projects
• Target list offers information on what the subsidy may be
spent for
• Projects may be accepted only if they contribute to
accomplishing targets
• Decision on targets helps to concentrate subsidies on key
investments
• Limited number of targets reduces pressure from
different stakholders
• List of priority targets adds transparency to distributing
subsidies
43. Criteria to select targets
• Type of environmental resources promoted
• Type of projects – investment, education,
research, etc.
• Type of beneficiaries
• Region or locality targeted for support
• Promotion of specific national objectives
• Addressing national, regional or local problems
• Fulfillment of international obligations
44. Allocation of subsidies
• Earmarking funds allocated to support a particular
target
- sector study was conducted in a programme
development phase
- demand for subsidy was assessed together
with a capacity to prepare and submit projects
• Limit on a number of projects which may receive subsidy
under each programme target
• No up-front brakedown of available subsidies among
priority targets
45. Controlling the supply of projects
• One project from each applicant
• Limited time to submit application (cut-off
date)
• One time call for project proposals
• Rigid formal screening
• Narrow list of eligible applicants
• Long list of eligibility criteria
• High requirements incorporated in
appraisal criteria
46. Limit to subsidies
• Differentiation by targets (education, campaigns,
monitoring, nature protection, etc. are better
subsidised than investment projects)
• Preferences for different groups of applicants
(government bodies and municipalities are given
higher subsidies for the same project)
• Preferences for a certain region (difficult
environmental conditions, high environmental
value, low level of development)
47. Cost-effectiveness mechanism
• Minimal requirement on cost-effectiveness
to accept project
• Similar subsidy to purchase products
which offer the same environmental
effects (solar collectors, wind mills, buses
operated on compressed natural gas
instead of oil)
• Cost-effectiveness included in the list of
project appraisal criteria
48. Differentiation of priorities for
investments
• Large and small investment projects
• Commercial and non-commercial projects
• Innovative and traditional investment
projects
• New versus on-going projects
49. Conclusions
• Priorities for an expenditure programme decide about
the final outcomes or impacts of subsidies
• Selection of priority targets depends on:
- availability of subsidies
- number of submitted projects
- preferences towards applicant’s group or project
locations
• Cost-effectiveness should be used as one of the
important criteria to prioritise targets within a
programme

52. Monitoring and evaluation - principles
• Translate sector priorities into targets:
Logical framework analysis
Indicators
Product indicator: measure of the object or tangible
structure that results from the implementation of a project:
- Length of new water (or wastewater) network constructed
- Number of wastewater treatment plants constructed
- Number of heating sources constructed
Result indicator: measure of the extent to which an objective
has been achieved:
- Number of persons connected to water (or wastewater) network
- Number of persons connected to district heating system
- Number of persons with solid waste collection service
53. Monitoring and evaluation - principles
Indicators
Outcome indicator: measure of physical impact of a project:
- Volume of wastewater treated
- Volume of water supplied
- Volume of solid waste collected in segregation programme
Targets
Strategic (20-50 years)
Medium-term (10-20 or 5-10 years when availability of
resources has not stabilised) – prioritise them
considering socio-economic, and environmental
impacts
Short-term targets (1-5 years) aimed at achieving
medium-term targets
54. Transparent monitoring and evaluation
Monitoring: continuous process of collecting and
analysing information to measure progress towards
expected results
Starts with signature of financing agreement
Reporting
Document verification and site visits
Compliance with time and financing schedule
Evaluation – closes the project cycle
Communicate results
