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.

Support to results data collection for internal monitoring and
institutionalreporting (Service called
“Results“Support to Results Data Collection”).
- Conduct
ROM reviews for an external and impartial
reviews of selected interventions’ progress and performanceassessment of ongoing interventions (Service called “ROM Review”).
When can it be used?
ROM services are available throughout the intervention cycle.

- In the 1st year of implementation, to tackle as early as possible potential design weaknesses and other issues.
- At any time during the implementation, when an external advice is needed to address any flagged shortcomings.
- At closing stage (last 8 months of implementation) to draw lessons for a follow-up phase or design future interventions.
Who can use it?
The three ROM services are addressed to DG INTPA and DG NEAR operational managers to support the management tasks at different moments in the intervention cycle, as shown in the figure below:

Service | How it works | Further Information | How to request this service |
Support to Logframe Design, Monitoring and Reporting System | Within 5 days from the request, a ROM expert is assigned to carry out the assignment remotely, involving the Implementing Partners if the Operational Manager considers it useful. The ROM expert will develop a revised draft of the intervention logic and logframe and/or recommendations on the monitoring and reporting systems. | ROM Handbook (Chapter 7 and Annex 12) | OM can send an email to the ROM contractor, copying the functional mailbox of the respective DG. DG INTPA: ROM Africa: rom-devco-af@particip.com ROM Global: lfm@romglobal.eu Functional Mailbox : intpa-04-rom@ec.europa.eu DG NEAR: ROM ENI: rom-near-eni@particip.com ROM Enlargement : rom-ipa@integration.org Functional Mailbox: |
Support to Results Data Collection | A portfolio of interventions is selected by the ROM coordination unit of DG INTPA and DG NEAR. Operational Managers can validate or propose amendments to this list. Then, the ROM contractors will liaise with the M&E Focal Point to plan the expert’s mission. The mission can be conducted remotely or in the field. | This service is led by the ROM coordination unit of DG INTPA and DG NEAR. For any questions, you can write to the functional mailbox of the respective DGs DG INTPA: INTPA-EU-RESULTS@ec.europa.eu. | |
ROM Reviews | ROM reviews follow a standard methodology based on eight monitoring criteria. The ROM expert conducts first a desk analysis of the intervention documentation and then a field mission to collect evidence and meet the stakeholders and beneficiaries. In the context of the pandemic outbreak, ROM Reviews can be conducted remotely. | ROM Handbook (Chapters 4 & 5 on the service, and Annexes 1-3 on the monitoring criteria, questions and guidance). | OM can flag the need for a ROM review of an intervention through the internal management systems (EAMR or MIS). It is also possible to flag such need at any time during the year through the ROM module. |
