Results-Oriented Monitoring (ROM) is an external support to the monitoring system of EEAS, DG INTPA, and DG NEAR external operations. ROM combines a methodology and a set of adapted services aimed at strengthening the accountability and results-based management capacities of the European Union and its partners. The ROM methodology and its set of services are presented in the ROM Handbook which was thoroughly revised at the end of 2019 and in December 2020.

What can it be used for?

The three ROM services are available to:

1. Provide support to design the logframe, and/or the monitoring and reporting arrangements systems of an intervention (Service called “Support to Logframe Design”Design Logframe”).
2. Assist in collecting results from ongoing interventions for internal monitoring and institutional reporting (Service called “Results “Support to Results Data Collection”).
3. Conduct an external and impartial reviews of selected interventions’ progress and performance (Service called “ROM Review”).
