5 CONCLUSION The Interim Guidelines presented in this report have been developed in conjunction with the Data Monitoring and Reporting Taskforce. The Interim Guidelines describe the key primary and secondary waste management KPIs that have been developed and the methodology for determining them. The report also contains step-by-step guidelines for the development of a waste data monitoring and reporting system and further provides details of the methodology to be adopted by the Waste Management Groups in reporting waste data for the annual review to be carried out in March/April 2003. A Performance Indicators Working Group, involving the DOE Local Government Branch and representatives from the District Councils, is reviewing the list of Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs) currently used by District Councils to demonstrate best value. The Department are keen to standardise waste management performance indicators to minimise unnecessary reporting workloads for District Councils and employment of appropriate indicators of performance. The Performance Indicators Working Group are considering the list of KPIs for incorporation into BVPIs. The Department acknowledge that implementation of these guidelines and development of procedures to govern the collection, recording and monitoring will take time and that gaps will exist in waste data reports initially. The Interim Guidelines provide an opportunity for the Waste Management Groups and District Councils to put in place the necessary systems for gathering data and to identify potential difficulties in obtaining information essential to meet minimum reporting requirements. These minimum requirements will be confirmed in the final Reporting Guidelines to be issued in December 2003. MUNICIPAL WASTE DATA MONITORING AND REPORTING: INTERIM GUIDELINES 15
