Two Interesting Papers on the Basics

Mark Schacter has written some interesting papers on performance measurement.

They are fairly theoretical however, but give a good overview of some of the basics, in particular of logic models, frameworks and some advice on how to choose indicators.

I would recommend reading:

Not a Toolkit. Practitioner's Guide to Measuring the Performance of Public Programs

and

What Will Be, Will Be. The Challenge of Applying Results-based Thinking to Policy


Good reading!
