Eu Programme Management 1977-96: A Performance Indicators Analysis
Authors:Roger Levy
Affiliation:Division of Management, Caledonian University, Glasgow
Abstract:Measuring the performance of public services and programmes is now a generally accepted part of the scenery of public management. In practice, it is often honoured more in the breach than the observance owing to well-known technical and epistemological problems. In the absence of reliable performance data, normative assumptions may prevail on policy makers and managers alike which are at variance with objective reality.
The critique and attempted reform of EU programme management is often based on such assumptions. This paper attempts to provide an empirical and epistemological basis to the judgment of EU programme management by identifying appropriate performance indicators, collecting data on them from audit reports over a 20-year period and constructing a methodology for analysis. Criteria for reliable sources and the effect of intervening variables on the results are discussed.
The paper reviews the evidence of the aggregate data collected for the five major EU spending areas, and suggests some conclusions questioning both commonly held assumptions about, and models for, the reform of EU programme management.
