High Priority Action Plans for which the Affiliate was Ineffective:

Innovation promotion and knowledge transfer

R&D centres and fabrication labs
Trade Agreements


Sample of KPIs Used:

Number of SMEs registered on the platform.
Number of laboratories and facilities captured in the universal testing
database.
Number of companies to have received support in know-how transfer
by experts.
Number of projects financed by R&D matching fund.
Number of successfully launched R&D Centers & Fabrication Labs.
The number of Policy measures for regulating and monitoring the
market for industrial waste exchange formulated and adopted


Importance of Monitoring and Evaluation:

Allow us to assess whether the project is meeting its goals, and thus
aiding successful completion.
Provide documentation for how the final output/ impact was
reached, making it easier to replicate results if needed.
Hold affiliates accountable for the progress of the project.
Make it easier to troubleshoot and identify pain points facing the
projects.
