Methodology for Monitoring the Implementation Status of the State Program  

1. The following methods are used in collecting and processing information for monitoring the implementation status of the measures envisaged in the state program:

1.1. analysis of reports and supporting documents submitted by the coordinating body (agency);
1.2. analysis of documents for the purpose of determining the implementation status of the measure;
1.3. organization of discussions with relevant state bodies (agencies) and specialists;
1.4. obtaining information from third parties;
1.5. organization of on-site inspection activities.

2. Monitoring of the implementation status of the measures envisaged in the state program shall be carried out in the following sequence:

2.1. Collection and analysis of information and supporting documents

2.1.1. The monitoring and evaluation body (agency) reviews the work performed under each measure and the corresponding supporting documents, and conducts an initial assessment within the framework of monitoring the implementation status of the measures, substantiating it under the following criteria:

1.the measure has been implemented;

2.the measure has been partially implemented;

3.the measure has not been implemented.

2.2. Organization of discussions with relevant state bodies (agencies)

2.2.1. After the initial assessment is conducted within the framework of monitoring the implementation status of the measures envisaged in the state program, the monitoring and evaluation body (agency), together with the relevant bodies (agencies), holds discussions on the work performed and the main challenges encountered during implementation. During the discussions, the relevant body (agency) may submit additional information concerning the implementation status of the measures, and the main challenges encountered in the implementation process and ways to resolve them may be discussed.

2.3. Organization of discussions with specialists

2.3.1. After discussions with the relevant state bodies (agencies) are completed and supporting documents are obtained, further discussions are held with specialists in the relevant field on the implementation status of the measures, including the main challenges identified by relevant state bodies (agencies), proposed solutions, and other related issues. The monitoring and evaluation body (agency) may involve international organizations, civil society institutions, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders in these discussions.

2.4. Evaluation of the measures based on information obtained during monitoring of the implementation status

2.4.1. After the completion of the processes of obtaining and verifying information and organizing discussions as set out in paragraphs 2.1–2.3 of this Methodology, the necessary clarifications shall be made to the initial assessment within the framework of monitoring the implementation status of the measures, and each measure shall be evaluated with the corresponding score based on the final assessment results as follows:

1.measure implemented – 1 point;

2.measure partially implemented – 0.5 point;

3.measure not implemented – 0 points.

2.5. Evaluation of the priority areas and overall implementation status of the state program

2.5.1. The evaluation of the priority areas defined under the state program and the overall implementation status of the state program shall be carried out as follows:

1.Based on the implementation status of the measures, the relative weight is determined by calculating the ratio of the number of measures assessed as “implemented,” “partially implemented,” and “not implemented” to the total number of measures under the priority area or the state program;

2.The overall implementation status of the priority area is evaluated using the following formula:

(İE+Qİ+İB)/TS*100=İF

where:


İE – total points for implemented measures;
Qİ – total points for partially implemented measures;
İB – total points for measures not implemented;
TS – total number of measures under the priority area;
İF – implementation percentage for the priority area.

Note: If all measures envisaged under a priority area are implemented, the ratio of the total score for all measures to the total number of measures shall be equal to the maximum value of 1.

3. The results obtained based on the overall implementation status of the priority area shall be evaluated as follows:

where:

0–50 percent range – red (unacceptable);
51–80 percent range – yellow (acceptable);
81–100 percent range – green (satisfactory).

4. The overall implementation status of the state program shall be evaluated using the following formula:

PB/PS*100 = DPQ

where:

FB – total score for the priority areas

PS – number of priority areas

DSQ – implementation percentage of the state program

5. The result obtained from the overall assessment of the implementation status of the state program shall be evaluated as follows:

where:

0–50 percent range – red (unacceptable);
51–80 percent range – yellow (acceptable);
81–100 percent range – green (satisfactory).

6. Based on the assessment of the measures assigned to each main executing body (agency) under the state program, and depending on the implementation status of those measures, the performance results of the main executing bodies (agencies) shall be evaluated as follows:

TB/TS*100= İQF

where:

TB – total score for the measures for which the bodies (agencies) act as the main executor;

TS – total number of measures for which the bodies (agencies) act as the main executor;

İQF – performance results of the executing bodies (agencies) (in percentage).

7. The results obtained from the overall assessment of the main executing bodies (agencies) in relation to the measures defined in the state program shall be evaluated as follows:

where:

0–50 percent range – red (unacceptable);
51–80 percent range – yellow (acceptable);
81–100 percent range – green (satisfactory).
