Common output indicators cannot be turned into programme-specific result indicators - this applies to all Policy Objectives, as a matter of principle. Furthermore, result indicators should measure the effects of the interventions supported, with particular reference to the direct addressees, population targeted or users of infrastructure. Output indicators do not measure results.
In addition, in PO5, a wide array of common result indicators from PO1-4 can be used when relevant to the type of action envisaged in the given strategy. We encourage the use of common result indicators wherever possible, however, if it is deemed necessary due to the nature of the given action, programme-specific result indicators can be used. These will need to be accompanied with a justification in the Methodological Documents.
