21 Box 6 Examples of indicators with absent or incorrect baselines Lack of baselines For the “Employment and vocational education and training” contract in Georgia, (contract 7), no baselines were defined when the financing agreement was signed in 2014 for any of the five indicators measuring progress. 
21 Ruta 6 Exempel p indikatorer dr utgngsvrden saknas eller r felaktiga Utgngsvrden saknas Nr det gller kontraktet Employment and vocational education and training (sysselsttning och yrkesutbildning) i Georgien (kontrakt 7) hade inga utgngsvrden faststllts nr finansieringsverenskommelsen undertecknads 2014 fr ngon av de fem indikatorer som mter framsteg.
As a result, the baseline for the required increase was zero, which means that any progress reported could be considered as sufficient to reach the target. 
Till fljd av detta var utgngsvrdet fr den ndvndiga kningen noll, vilket innebr att alla framsteg som rapporterades kunde anses vara tillrckliga fr att n mlet.
For example, the contract included targets to increase the relative number of teachers receiving initial and continuous type of training. 
Till exempel inbegrep kontraktet ml om att ka det relativa antalet lrare som fr grundlggande utbildning och fortbildning.
However, no data was available on the number of teachers already receiving the type of training measured. 
Det fanns dock inga tillgngliga uppgifter om det antal lrare som redan fick den typ av utbildning som mttes.
Furthermore, the concepts of ”initial” and ”continuous” training were developed only in 2016, so it was not possible to know the baseline situation when the targets were set. 
Vidare togs begreppen Ógrundlggande utbildningÓ och ÓfortbildningÓ fram frst 2016, s det var inte mjligt att knna till utgngssituationen nr mlen faststlldes.
Baselines not disaggregated In some cases, the baseline was provided, but it was not sufficiently disaggregated to enable progress to be measured. 
Utgngsvrdena var inte detaljerade I vissa fall tillhandahlls utgngsvrden som inte var inte tillrckligt detaljerade fr att gra det mjligt att mta framsteg.
The target for indicator 1 of a contract with Bolivia (contract 9) required specific institutions to train a certain number of staff in 2016. 
Enligt mlet fr indikator 1 i ett kontrakt med Bolivia (kontrakt 9) var specifika institutioner skyldiga att utbilda ett visst antal personalmedlemmar 2016.
The baseline included information about the number of training courses offered in 2013. 
Utgngsvrdet innehll information om antalet utbildningskurser som erbjds 2013.
However, it did not provide the number of staff trained by particular institutions, so it was not sufficiently disaggregated. 
Det fanns dock ingen information om antalet personalmedlemmar som hade utbildats av specifika institutioner, och utgngsvrdet var drfr inte tillrckligt detaljerat.
Additional documentation provided to us showed that, depending on the training centre considered, the number of staff trained in 2013 already exceeded the two targets set for 2016, in one case by 2 % and in the other by 42 %. 
Ytterligare dokumentation som verlmnades till oss visade, beroende p vilket utbildningscenter som beaktades, att antalet personalmedlemmar som utbildades 2013 redan versteg de tv ml som hade faststllts fr 2016, i ett fall med 2 % och i det andra med 42 %.
Incorrect baselines In the “Education Sector Plan Support Programme” in Pakistan (contract 24), the baseline for indicator 5 related to the number of students benefiting from an existing scholarship scheme. 
Felaktiga utgngsvrden I Education Sector Plan Support Programme (stdprogrammet fr utbildningssektorsplanen) i Pakistan (kontrakt 24) gllde utgngsvrdet fr indikator 5 antalet studenter som omfattades av ett befintligt stipendiesystem.
Indicators generally provide the intended incentive effect, but there are too many 33 A primary objective of budget support is to incentivise partner countries to follow the path of agreed reforms. 
Indikatorer ger generellt sett avsedd stimulanseffekt, men de r fr mnga 33 Ett av de frmsta mlen med budgetstd r att ge partnerlnder incitament att g vidare med verenskomna reformer.
To this end, the indicators used for variable tranches should require a meaningful effort from the recipient country. 
Drfr br de indikatorer som anvnds fr rrliga delbetalningar innebra att mottagarlandet mste gra meningsfulla insatser.
34 We found that most variable tranches reviewed had the effect of incentivising partner countries to implement certain aspects of their development strategies. 
34 Vi konstaterade att de flesta rrliga delbetalningar som vi granskade gav partnerlnder incitament att genomfra vissa aspekter av sina utvecklingsstrategier.
However, the targets used for 11 of the selected indicators were very easy to achieve. 
De ml som anvndes fr elva av de utvalda indikatorerna var dock mycket enkla att n.
This number includes four indicators whose targets were set very low due to the use of incorrect baselines (see paragraphs 31-32). 
I antalet ingr fyra indikatorer vilkas ml var mycket lgt satta p grund av att felaktiga utgngsvrden hade anvnts (se punkterna 31Đ32).
Some examples of indicators with a limited incentive effect are presented in Box 7. 
Ngra exempel p indikatorer med begrnsad stimulanseffekt ges i ruta 7.
Furthermore, for 12 additional indicators involving three contracts in Moldova (contract 16), Bolivia (contract 10) and Pakistan (contract 23), the targets were mostly achieved with support provided by technical assistance paid by the EU or other donors. 
Nr det gller tolv ytterligare indikatorer som berr tre kontrakt Đ i Moldavien (kontrakt 16), Bolivia (kontrakt 10) och Pakistan (kontrakt 23) Đ uppnddes mlen oftast med std av tekniskt bistnd som betalades av EU eller andra givare.
In our view, such indicators have limited ownership and their incentive effect is weak, because they do not require any significant involvement by the partner countries. 
Enligt vr mening leder sdana indikatorer till begrnsat egenansvar och en svag stimulanseffekt eftersom de inte krver ngot strre engagemang frn partnerlndernas sida.
22 Box 7 Examples of indicators with easy-to-achieve targets In contract with Bolivia (contract 9), part of the variable tranche was made conditional upon organising 2 plenary meetings during 2015 by an institution responsible for the implementation of the strategy against drug trafficking. 
22 Ruta 7 Exempel p indikatorer med ml som var enkla att n I ett kontrakt med Bolivia (kontrakt 9) villkorades en del av den rrliga delbetalningen med att en institution som ansvarade fr genomfrandet av strategin mot olaglig narkotikahandel anordnande tv plenarsammantrden under 2015.
Regular plenary meetings for monitoring the strategy is part of its normal activity, not something that needs to be encouraged though a variable tranche indicator. 
Regelbundna plenarsammantrden fr att vervaka strategin r en del av den normala verksamheten och inte ngonting som mste uppmuntras genom en indikator fr rrliga delbetalningar.
The target for indicator 4 of the same contract is the production of a report demonstrating the partner country’s compliance with the EU budget support conditions. 
Mlet fr indikator 4 i samma kontrakt bestr i utarbetandet av en rapport som visar att partnerlandet efterlever EU:s villkor fr budgetstd.
This report, however, is part of the standard disbursement process for budget support and thus, should not have been considered as a variable tranche indicator. 
Rapporten r dock en del av den vanliga processen fr att betala ut budgetstd och borde sledes inte ha anvnts som indikator fr rrliga delbetalningar.
6 Budget support guidelines, 2017, p. 
6 Budget support guidelines (riktlinjer fr budgetstd), 2017, s.
35 The Guidelines suggest that the number of variable tranche indicators should generally range from 3 to 10. 
35 I riktlinjerna rekommenderas att antalet indikatorer fr rrliga delbetalningar generellt sett br uppg till mellan tre och tio stycken.
The audited contracts had between 4 and 34 indicators per tranche7. 
De granskade kontrakten hade mellan fyra och 34 indikatorer per delbetalning7.
For example, the contract to provide support to implement a visa liberalisation action plan in Moldova (contract 15) included 95 independent targets. 
Kontraktet fr att stdja genomfrandet av handlingsplanen fr viseringsliberalisering i Moldavien (kontrakt 15) innehll till exempel 95 fristende ml.
Such a high number of indicators and targets is not conducive to a focus on the main policy objectives of the budget support contracts. 
Ett s stort antal indikatorer och ml frmjar inte fokus p de frmsta politiska mlen i budgetstdkontrakten.
Although problems linked to the high number of indicators were acknowledged in internal Commission documents, it did not influence the formulation of contracts (see Box 8). 
Trots att problem kopplade till det stora antalet indikatorer erkndes i interna kommissionsdokument pverkade detta inte kontraktens utformning (se ruta 8).
The quality of the Commission's verification of indicator fulfilment varied, leading to some payments being insufficiently justified 36 The disbursement requests submitted by the recipient countries contain an analysis of progress in the sectors supported by their budget support contracts and information on the fulfilment of agreed conditions and performance indicators. 
Kvaliteten p kommissionens kontroll av om indikatorer hade uppfyllts varierade, vilket ledde till att vissa utbetalningar inte var tillrckligt styrkta 36 De utbetalningsanskningar som lmnas in av mottagarlnderna innehller en analys av framsteg inom de sektorer som fr std genom budgetstdkontrakten samt information om huruvida verenskomna villkor och prestationsindikatorer har uppfyllts.
The dossier usually includes a report on progress in a given field (sector), separate reports on fulfilment of every condition and fiches concerning each indicator, with supporting evidence (e.g. letters from a statistical office, reports on surveys etc.). 
Handlingarna inbegriper vanligtvis en rapport om framsteg inom ett visst omrde (sektor), separata rapporter om huruvida vart och ett av villkoren har uppfyllts samt informationsblad om varje indikator, med styrkande handlingar (t.ex. skrivelser frn en statistikbyr, rapporter om underskningar etc.).
See Figure 3 describing the budget support disbursement process. 
Se figur 3 dr frfarandet fr att betala ut budgetstd beskrivs.
23 Box 8 High number of indicators The preparatory documents for the contract “Support to agriculture and rural development” in Moldova, (contract 17) mention that “designing few and focused conditions is crucial in Moldova, as having many and complex conditions can contribute to the failure of sector budget support”. 
23 Ruta 8 Stort antal indikatorer I de frberedande dokumenten fr kontraktet Support to agriculture and rural development (std till jordbruk och landsbygdsutveckling) i Moldavien (kontrakt 17) nmns att det r absolut ndvndigt att utforma ett ftal fokuserade villkor fr Moldavien, eftersom mnga och komplexa villkor kan bidra till att sektorbudgetstdet inte blir framgngsrikt.
This aspect was disregarded during the design, as there were 28 composite “conditions/criteria/activities for disbursement” included in the contract for the disbursement of the 2017 variable tranche, which were further divided into 39 sub-conditions. 
Denna aspekt frbisgs under utformningen, i och med att det fanns 28 sammansatta villkor/kriterier/tgrder fr utbetalning i kontraktet fr utbetalning av rrliga delbetalningar 2017. Dessa delades upp i ytterligare 39 delvillkor.
7 This number does not include indicators from previous years’ tranches. 
7 Denna siffra inbegriper inte indikatorer frn tidigare rs delbetalningar.
These systems are therefore a primary source of information for disbursement decisions. 
Dessa system r sledes en av de frmsta informationskllorna fr utbetalningsbeslut.
However, countries have varying capacities and systems in place for collecting, storing, analysing and using data. 
Lnderna har dock varierande kapacitet och olika system fr att samla in, lagra, analysera och anvnda uppgifter.
In particular, EU Delegations must determine whether weaknesses in statistical systems, availability of data and policy analysis significantly undermine the validity of countries’ disbursement requests. 38 For the contracts reviewed, we examined whether, when selecting the performance indicators for the variable tranches, the Commission had soundly assessed the reliability of the performance data. 
EU:s delegationer mste i synnerhet bedma om brister nr det gller statistiksystem, uppgifters tillgnglighet och politisk analys p ett betydande stt undergrver giltigheten hos lndernas utbetalningsanskningar. 38 Fr de granskade kontrakten underskte vi om kommissionen hade gjort en grundlig bedmning av prestationsuppgifternas tillfrlitlighet nr den valde ut prestationsindikatorer fr de rrliga delbetalningarna.
We also reviewed whether the Commission had performed a thorough examination of the variable tranche disbursement requests and correctly calculated the amount to be disbursed. 
Vi underskte ven om kommissionen p ett grundligt stt hade granskat anskningar om utbetalning av rrliga delbetalningar och korrekt berknat det belopp som skulle betalas ut.
The Commission did not conclude on the countries’ capacity to produce data needed for indicators 39 The EU Delegations are asked to provide an overview of the partner country’s monitoring and evaluation systems (for the country in general and for the particular sector for SRPC), assessing whether the country’s public policy is in line with the EU objectives and whether institutional capacity is considered sufficient to implement the policy. 
Kommissionen faststllde inte lndernas kapacitet att ta fram de uppgifter som krvdes fr indikatorerna 39 EU:s delegationer ombeds tillhandahlla en versikt ver partnerlandets vervaknings-och utvrderingssystem (fr landet generellt sett och fr den srskilda sektor som omfattas av prestationsavtal om sektorreformer), bedma om landets offentliga politik verensstmmer med EU-mlen och om den institutionella kapaciteten anses tillrcklig fr att genomfra politiken.
40 We analysed the Commission’s assessments using criteria established by the European Statistical Office (Eurostat). 
40 Vi analyserade kommissionens bedmningar med hjlp av kriterier som faststllts av Eurostat.
Eurostat has developed a tool called Snapshot to help EU Delegations assess the strengths and weaknesses of national statistical systems in developing countries. 
Eurostat har tagit fram ett verktyg som kallas Snapshot fr att hjlpa EU:s delegationer att bedma styrkor och svagheter i de nationella statistiksystemen i utvecklingslnder.
We found that the Commission’s budget support guidelines cover the key requirements of this tool. 
Vi konstaterade att de centrala kraven fr verktyget behandlas i kommissionens riktlinjer fr budgetstd.
This tool is generally unknown to the staff in the Delegations. 
Personalen vid delegationerna knner i allmnhet inte till detta verktyg.
41 Our review of the Commission’s assessment of monitoring and evaluation systems showed that, in practice, the Commission generally describes and assesses the elements mentioned in the Guidelines, but these elements are scattered around several documents. 
41 Vr granskning av kommissionens bedmning av vervaknings-och utvrderingssystem visade att kommissionen i praktiken generellt sett beskriver och bedmer de faktorer som nmns i riktlinjerna, men att faktorerna r utspridda i flera dokument.
However, even though certain sector-specific weaknesses were mentioned in the majority of contracts (18 out of 24 contracts), only in the five contracts in Jordan did the Commission explicitly draw conclusions as to the reliability of the performance data needed to calculate the variable tranche indicators9. 
Trots att vissa sektorspecifika brister nmndes i de allra flesta kontrakten (18 av 24 kontrakt) drog kommissionen enbart i de fem kontrakten i Jordanien uttryckligen slutsatser om tillfrlitligheten hos de prestationsuppgifter som behvdes fr att berkna indikatorerna fr rrliga delbetalningar9.
Drawing a conclusion on the reliability of data is important for indicator selection, monitoring and disbursement analysis. 
Det r viktigt att dra slutsatser om uppgifters tillfrlitlighet fr att vlja ut indikatorer och vervaka och analysera utbetalningar.
The Commission verified the reliability of the data supporting the disbursement requests, but not always thoroughly 42 The EU Delegations must analyse the disbursement requests presented by partner countries (including the values of the related performance indicators) before disbursing the variable tranche payment. 
Kommissionen kontrollerade tillfrlitligheten hos de uppgifter som lg till grund fr utbetalningsanskningarna, men inte alltid p ett grundligt stt 42 EU:s delegationer mste analysera partnerlndernas utbetalningsanskningar (inbegripet vrdet p tillhrande prestationsindikatorer) innan den rrliga delbetalningen betalas ut.
We found a variety of verification procedures, some of which did not provide the necessary assurance to justify the subsequent payments. 
Vi fann en rad olika kontrollfrfaranden, varav vissa inte gav ndvndig skerhet fr att styrka de efterfljande betalningarna.
43 Overall, the Commission applied three different types of verification procedures: (i) desk review and arithmetical re-calculation of the indicator values using the data provided by partner countries, (ii) the same method complemented by field visits to verify the reliability of the data provided, and (iii) outsourcing the calculation of performance indicators or the verification of data provided by the partner country to external experts. 
43 I allmnhet tillmpade kommissionen fljande tre olika typer av kontrollfrfaranden: i) skrivbordsgranskningar och aritmetiska omrkningar av indikatorvrden med hjlp av uppgifterna frn partnerlnder, ii) samma metod kompletterad med besk p plats fr att kontrollera tillfrlitligheten hos de lmnade uppgifterna och iii) utlggning till externa experter av berkningen av prestationsindikatorer eller kontrollen av uppgifter frn partnerlandet.

25 9 Kontrakten 1, 2, 3, 4 och 5. kvalitetstagande, yrkesmssigt oberoende, opartiskhet, objektivitet, metod och lmpliga frfaranden) och iv) frbindelser med anvndare (dvs. relevans och tillgnglighet).
44 The EU Delegation officials carried out field visits to complement the analysis and verify some of the data provided in 14 of the 24 audited contracts (see Box 9), and hired, sometimes in addition to their own field visits, external experts to analyse the fulfilment of the conditions for the variable tranches in 16 of the contracts. 
44 Tjnstemn vid EU:s delegationer genomfrde besk p plats fr att komplettera analysen och kontrollera vissa uppgifter som lmnats fr 14 av de 24 granskade kontrakten (se ruta 9) och anlitade, ibland utver de egna besken p plats, externa experter fr att analysera om villkoren fr de rrliga delbetalningarna i 16 av kontrakten hade uppfyllts.
In the neighbourhood countries the use of experts was systematic; while in the remaining countries audited, the Delegations used experts in only 5 out of 13 contracts. 
I grannlnderna var anvndes experter systematiskt, men i vriga lnder som omfattades av revisionen anvnde delegationerna enbart experter fr fem av 13 kontrakt.
45 The budget support guidelines recommend that experts be called in to assist verification exercises where serious doubts exist about the quality of the data provided. 
45 I riktlinjerna fr budgetstd rekommenderas att experter anlitas fr att bist under kontroller nr det finns allvarliga tvivel om kvaliteten p de uppgifter som lmnats.
However, without any clear conclusions about the partner countries’ capacity to produce such data (see paragraphs 39-41), it is difficult to decide whether such expert assistance is really needed. For the contracts audited, the average cost of expert verification missions was approximately €110 000. 
Nr det inte finns ngra tydliga slutsatser om partnerlndernas kapacitet att ta fram sdana uppgifter (se punkterna 39Đ41) r det dock svrt att bedma om sdan experthjlp verkligen behvs. Fr de kontrakt som granskades var den genomsnittliga kostnaden fr experters kontrolluppdrag omkring 110 000 euro.
Box 10 presents 26 Box 9 Commission’s verification of disbursement requests To assess the disbursement request for the sector reform contract to increase the performance of Rwanda’s agriculture sector (contract 18), the EU Delegation carried out a comprehensive analysis of the information submitted by the Government of Rwanda and complemented it with field visits and requests for clarifications to national authorities. 
26 Ruta 9 Kommissionens kontroll av utbetalningsanskningar Fr att bedma utbetalningsanskan fr kontraktet om sektorreformer som syftar till att frbttra jordbrukssektorns resultat i Rwanda (kontrakt 18) genomfrde EU:s delegation en omfattande analys av den information som lmnats av Rwandas regering och kompletterade den med besk p plats samt begranden om klargranden frn nationella myndigheter.
Specifically, in the case of indicator 5a, the target for the first year was 80 000 Ha of land to be used for agroforestry in certain areas. 
Nr det gller indikator 5a var mlet det frsta ret att 80 000 hektar mark skulle anvndas till skogsjordbruk i vissa omrden.
The Delegation carried out a field visit that showed that the information submitted was not correct, as the activities in the area were not limited to agroforestry. 
Delegationen genomfrde ett besk p plats som visade att den information som hade lmnats inte var korrekt, eftersom verksamheterna i omrdet inte var begrnsade till skogsjordbruk.
Consequently, the Commission withheld the payment related to this indicator in the tranche. 10 Contracts number 2, 5, 13, 14, 23 and 24. 
I dessa fall r det svrare fr kommissionen att identifiera otillfrlitliga prestationsuppgifter i utbetalningsanskningarna, vilket kar risken fr att 10 Kontrakt nr 2, 5, 13, 14, 23 och 24.

I ruta 10 ges ett exempel p brister i en extern granskning som inte upptcktes av kommissionen.
27 Box 10 Examples of shortcomings found in external expert’ work For contract 2, supporting the Ministry of Education in Jordan to deal with the Syrian refugee crisis, the Commission hired an expert to assess the data declared by the Ministry of Education for some of the variable tranche indicators. 
27 Ruta 10 Exempel p brister som konstaterats i externa experters arbete Fr kontrakt 2, om std till Jordaniens utbildningsministerium fr att hantera den syriska flyktingkrisen, anlitade kommissionen en expert fr att bedma de uppgifter som lmnats av utbildningsministeriet fr ngra av indikatorerna fr rrliga delbetalningar.
The expert validated the data declared by the Ministry with field visits to a sample of 30 schools. 
Experten bekrftade ministeriets uppgifter genom att beska ett urval om 30 skolor.
Based on the expert report, the Commission disbursed the variable tranche. 
P grundval av expertens rapport betalade kommissionen ut den rrliga delbetalningen.
