Measures of Effectiveness

The OIP team developed an approach to performance measurement that links basic inputs (country programs that consume time, money and staff resources) to the outcome finally desired (increased global safety and security). The six considerations in performance measurement include: Basic Input, Basic Work Process, Basic Outputs, Intermediate Results, Eventual Result, and Final Outcome.

Measurement Category	Performance Element
Basic Input	Country programs: Time Money Personnel
Basic Work Processes	Technical exchanges in: Legal and regulatory development Licensing procedures and practices Export enforcement mechanisms Industry-government relations Program administration and system automation
Basic Outputs	Number of Activities or technical exchanges Contacts with international officials Upgrades to automated systems
Intermediate Results	Participating country actions: New export control laws and regulations Enforcement actions Industry activities Licensing and enforcement inquiries Memberships in international control regimes Adherence to international control regime rules
Eventual Results	Reduced threat from terrorists and rogue nations due to better control and reduced proliferation of weapons of mass destruction nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and delivery systems and other sensitive materials and technologies safety and security
Final Outcome	Increased national security and global safety and security
