LGCDP M&E Framework

VDCs
Indicator: % of all 3915 VDCs that meet the Minimum Conditions (as defined by MLD)
Rationale: This indicator broadly reflects the extent to which VDCs fulfil the minimum requirements for
managing resources as defined in the Local Self-Government Act 1999.
Limits: • For the baseline, only 900 VDCs will be assessed in June 2009. The number will
gradually be increased to include all 3915 VDCs. Therefore, the % figure in the
indicator will refer to a changing total of VDCs.
Baseline:
not available yet; will be collected through a VDC assessment for initially 900 VDCs in June
2009
Target: 100% (2012)
Means of
National Synthesis Report by the Local Bodies Fiscal Commission (LBFC)
Verification
Frequency annually
Responsibility Local Bodies Fiscal Commission (LBFC)
MONITORING AND REPORTING
Indicator: % of LGCDP outcome indicators (for which data supposed to be available) are
updated per year
Rationale: This indicator broadly reflects the ability of local bodies and the Ministry of Local
Development to obtain, enter, process and aggregate data, including administrative data
collected directly by the MLD from the local level.
Limits: • The M&E framework for LGCDP is limited to key data and refers specifically to
LGCDP. However, this indicator can serve as a proxy for the overall capacity to
streamline data collection and aggregation from VDCs to DDCs, and thereby to
MLD.
• The indicator only refers to the outcome level, since purpose indicators will not be
updated every year.
Baseline:
not available; will be collected once the performance monitoring framework of LGCDP is
finalized;
Target: 100% (2012)
Means of
LGCDP indicator tracking sheets
Verification
Frequency annually
Responsibility M&E Section of MLD
Indicator: % of DDCs that submit to MLD an annual report (based on a template designed
by the MLD which includes a synthesized report on VDCs) within 15th August
Rationale: This indicator broadly reflects the ability of DDCs to obtain key data from VDCs.
Limits: • A new reporting template still needs to be designed by MLD.
Baseline:
not available; will be collected during the first year when the new template is available
Target: 100% (2012)
Means of
Reports from DDCs submitted to MLD
Verification
