RCO 114 Open space created or rehabilitated in urban areas* - Because this common output indicator has not a corresponding common result indicator, it is appropriate to identify a specific result indicator, such as: Population with access to rehabilitated

/renovated spaces accessible for the public?

ANSWER

Yes, creating a specific result indicator is necessary and the one proposed seems appropriate. Giving the resemblance to RCR95, it would be good to set a limit to the population included, such as the population living within a 2 km radius from the open space created or rehabilitated.

How should "population covered by projects” be defined in RCO74 and what calculation method is recommended for this indicator, as well as RCO75?

The population covered depends on the strategy, its geographic area and any criteria included in the strategy that may restrict the categories of people targeted (otherwise, it will be the entire population living in that geographic area or administrative unit).

RCO 67 Classroom capacity of new or modernised education facilities - Under the indicator RCO 67, could we count also the capacity created in sport facilities of the education units and in campuses (spaces for pupils/students accommodation)?

The indicator only covers classroom capacity, which could include gyms, but external facilities and accommodation are not covered.

RCO 36 - Green infrastructure supported for other purposes than adaptation to climate change - In the context where the code of intervention ‘’050 -Nature and biodiversity protection, natural heritage and resources, green and blue infrastructure” covers

covers also the blue infrastructure, will this indicator summing up the surface of blue infrastructure? Also, how could “green roofs” (which are considered green infrastructures) be integrated and summed up?

ANSWER

No, RCO36 does not include blue infrastructure (which is counted in RCO26).

The surface of green roofs expressed in hectares will be counted under the indicator.

If supported by the intervention logic, could we use common output indicators in PO 4 (in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I of Reg. EU 2021 / 1058) not marked with an asterisk (*) to other specific objectives within PO 4;

For example RCO70 Capacity of new or modernised social care facilities (except housing) under S.O 4v could also be used under S.O. 4.iii.

ANSWER

No, common indicators without asterisks are not available outside the specific objective concerned in order to encourage programmes to focus on the collection of the most relevant common indicators and limit the burden to report on ancillary outputs or results. However, if deemed appropriate by the MA, the indicator can be used in another SO by using a programme-specific indicator code (i.e. RCO66a)

How are "integrated actions" defined?

Integrated actions combine investments in two or more of the following social inclusion areas: employment, education and training, housing, health and social care

How could indicator RCO113 be targeted at this phase of designing the Programmes, given that the projects of the integrated actions may not yet be known?

Based on the budget available, the MA is encouraged to make an estimation – a target value should be included. Past experience in 2014-2020 programming can be used. The data and method for estimating the targets should be documented in the performance methodology and the targets can be revisited, f.i. at the mid term review.

Given that the population of beneficiaries of the individual projects under integrated actions may differ, the principle of avoiding double counting applies to the RCO113?

Yes, the population in a given area should be counted once even if covered by several projects financed in the same specific objective.

Could common output indicator RCO74 be used as a result indicator (even if, as a programme-specific indicator)?

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.

RCO 16 - Participations of institutional stakeholders in entrepreneurial discovery process - RCO016 - covers only the institutional participation in the entrepreneurial discovery process.

Can this indicator be used also to monitor interventions targeting at development of skills for smart specialization of the EDP participants under OS(iv), with reference to the ERDF Reg provision in Art.2, al.3 lit a)bis.

ANSWER:

There are two types of interventions: entrepreneurial discovery process (for which we have RCO16 and institutional stakeholders) and smart specialisation skills (RCO101, for enterprises). The two cannot be combined, but the programme could develop a specific indicator suitable to the type of intervention envisaged.
