The project management team doesn't agree with this recommendation in relation to the LEED+ results framework, as it is a general statement that every project should adhere to. The Evaluability Assessment conducted prior to the Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) also reviewed indicators, the results framework, and data availability, confirming that impact and outcome indicators demonstrate changes attributed to the project. However, the MTE report didn't make any observations about the indicators, even though assessing the monitoring and evaluation system, including indicators, is a key question in the MTE ToR. Furthermore, it's important to understand that the project had to incorporate assessment questions in addition to the SMART indicators into the results framework upon the donor's request (DFAT conducted a session for all its partners, requesting them to adopt these questions). The project M&E officer also noted that assessment questions are meaningful and demonstrate changes attributed by the project, although they are not traditionally used in the results measurement matrix. Consequently, the results framework includes assessment questions that are not SMART but help assess changes attributed by the project. Moreover, the PAVE project, which evolved from the LEED plus project, and other upcoming ILO projects, will pay close attention to these suggested aspects."

1. Results Framework: In developing the Results Framework, attention should be paid to develop SMART indicators where the requisite data and information could be readily collected, and that the indicators demonstrate changes attributed by the Project.
