AusAID performance assessment and evaluation policy (pdf 115kb)

This AusAID policy sets out expectations for measuring the performance of Australian aid, including a number of Quality Aid Principles that apply to all types of reporting. It replaces the Performance Assessment Framework, previously used to measure the effectiveness of Australian aid.

It outlines three reasons for assessing performance of the aid program: management, learning and accountability. It details minimum requirements for measuring performance at strategy or program level and at activity level. There are three types of reporting processes: annual performance reporting, the Quality Reporting System and evaluations & reviews.

This policy will be linked to new instructions and guidelines (expected to become available in 2008).
