LGCDP M&E Framework

a.) MANAGING RESOURCES
DDCs
Indicator: % of all 75 DDCs that meet all 15 minimum Conditions (as defined in 12/2008
by MLD based on LSGA 1999) per fiscal year
Rationale: This indicator broadly reflects the extent to which DDCs fulfil the minimum requirements
for managing resources as defined in the Local Self-Government Act 1999.
Limits: • Currently, only 12 of a total of 15 indicators are in use due to the absence of local
elections. Until local elections are held, DDCs are assessed based on 12 instead of
15 indicators.
Baseline: 63% (06/2008)
Target: 100% (12/2012)
Means of
National Synthesis Report by the Local Bodies Fiscal Commission (LBFC)
Verification
Frequency annually
Responsibility Local Bodies Fiscal Commission (LBFC)
Indicator: % of all 75 DDCs that score above 50 point in all 62 performance measurements
and meet minimum score in all 8 functional areas per fiscal year
Rationale: This composite, qualitative indicator broadly reflects the performance of DDCs in managing
resources. Performance is measured through a score card with up to 100 points, including
8 topics: planning and programme management performance, budget management,
financial management performance, fiscal resource mobilization capacity, budget release
and programme execution, communication and transparency, monitoring and evaluation,
organization, service delivery and property management
Limits: • Currently, only 57 out of 62 performance measurement criteria can be used due
to the absence of elected local bodies.
• For the baseline data collection in 2008, a slightly revised indicator framework was
used then for the assessment in 2009. Slight modifications in this composite
qualitative indicator can also be expected in the future, but should not effect the
overall picture provided by this indicator.

Target: 90% (12/2012)

Indicator: % of all 75 DDCs that spend more than 80% of planned capital development
budget per year
Rationale: This indicator refers to the capacity of DDCs to make use of earmarked funding. “Planned
capital development budget” refers to budget line 6.4., 6.5., and 6.6.
Limits: • An analysis of LBFC financial records needs to be done to calculate a baseline
figure. The documentation required for such an analysis is reportedly available.
Baseline: To be determined by analyzing LBFC financial records in 2009
Target: To be determined after analyzing LBFC financial records in 2009
