PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The implementation schedule for the CEDS (i.e., when projects are projected to be implemented) can act as the evaluation framework for the CEDS. However, because timely implementation and completion of projects often is a function of parameters outside the control of the project sponsor (example: unavailability of funds, affordability, etc.), there are inherent limitations in using the implementation schedule to evaluate performance.

An alternate evaluation framework would be limited to projects actually commenced, and would involve measuring, at some defined term, say 3 or 5 years out from completion of the project, whether private sector investment expect to be induced, and/or jobs expected to be created, or other expected outputs (e.g., numbers of persons trained, etc.) actually have occurred.
