OVERVIEW

The Results Measurement Framework (ReMF) is used to design, monitor, and evaluate the results of financing and investment interventions founded under the European Fund for Sustainable Development (EFSD+), as integral part of the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe (NDICI-GE).


What is it?

The ReMF consists of a “list” of results:  impacts, outcomes, outputs. These are structured around sectors/areas, with their associated indicators, with associated indicators that are aligned with the NDICI–Global Europe Results Framework (GERF), the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance Results Framework (IPA RF), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The EFSD+ ReMF applies to all EFSD+ funded interventions, including budgetary guarantees, blending and other financial assistance covered by EFSD+.


What can it be used for?

The ReMF is to be used to fill in a Logical Framework Matrix/Results Framework of Actions that include financial instruments and/or budgetary guarantees. Following the instructions provided in the Explanatory Note, the ReMF could be used to complete the relevant section of the following documents:

  • Action Document
  • Application Form for Blending
  • Application Form for Budgetary Guarantees
  • Contribution Agreement
  • Contribution Agreement for Financial Instruments
  • Guarantee Agreement

The ReMF is to be understood as a flexible tool. Additional results and indicators can be proposed by International Financial Institutions (IFIs) for their individual interventions, should they cover areas not captured already by the EFSD+ ReMF, and as soon as in line with EFSD+ objectives.


When can it be used?

N/A


Who can use it?

The main users of the ReMF are the IFIs, including EU Member States Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), as well as INTPA, ENEST and MENA Operational Managers, in HQ and in EU Delegations.


When can it be used?

N/A



What are its strengths?

The EFSD+ ReMF prompts several options of results chains and indicators, which can be modulated or combined depending on the specific areas of the proposed interventions. This allows both IFIs and the Commission services to easily design the results chain and select the most relevant indicators. Additional results and indicators can be proposed, should they cover areas not captured already by the EFSD+ ReMF, and as soon as in line with EFSD+ objectives.


What are its limitations?

The ReMF does not cover the entirety of possibilities of sectors and related results chains and indicators.  The IFIs and the INTPA/ENEST/MENA Operational Managers can consult other sector guidance available.
