This report represents an in-depth analysis of UNDP programmes and projects, encompassing a range of innovative programme-based indicators that provide key information on issues ranging from relevance to the sustainability of our work across a network of more than 130 country offices. This year the report pays particular attention to issues of effective upstream assistance (or policy and institutional support to developing country governments) and national ownership — two of the most critical dimensions by which to measure our own strengths and weaknesses.

This paper is an overview of the most important initiatives to increase the quality of humanitarian assistance. The introduction of the logical framework and the increasing body of knowledge made available through guidelines have improved project management by measuring process and outcomes.

This publication, The Handbook on Monitoring and Evaluating for Results, addresses the monitoring and evaluation of development results.
