Criteria based assessments, in contrast, describe conditions or parameters against which potential performance and capacity can be gauged.

UNRWA agrees that on the broader topic of results based management, policies and procedures should be established in order to enhance strategic planning, set targets, monitor processes, promote effective management decisions and report on performance.
