The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been delivering performance measurement resources and training to clients since 2011. Since that time, two guidebooks were published:

• Measuring UP! Performance Measurement for Economic Development
• Performance Measurement Resources for Agriculture and Agri-Food Organizations

We have combined these two resources into one updated guidebook, enhanced with specific examples where relevant.

A growing number of organizations are using performance measurement to track project activities and outcomes. Laying the groundwork to monitor a project, means that organizations can see when things are working to plan, and when adjustments need to be made.  This is not an approach that prescribes what must be measured; organizations need to develop their own performance measures based on their project plans and situation.

This new guide, provides:

• A four-stage approach to developing a performance measurement framework.

• Key terminology is defined to build consistency and clarity
• Templates for logic model and performance measure
• Sample indicators/measures and data sources
