Performance measurement
Performance measurement collects and analyzes data to evaluate progress toward goals and objectives. It can be input-based, output-based, outcome-based, process-based, quality-based, or financial-based. It can help improve accountability, decision-making, motivation, and resource allocation. Performance measurement data describes program achievement, on selected indicators and program evaluation explains why we see those results.
