Partner Performance Assessment Ratings Matrix
The Partner Performance Assessment (PPA) ratings matrix provides guidance to agreement managers, to those approving PPAs, and to implementing partners on the allocation of performance ratings against the assessment criteria in PPA. The ratings matrix supports consistency of PPA ratings across the development program. Ratings of 1 to 3 are given for unsatisfactory performance and ratings of 4 and above are given for satisfactory performance.
Adviser Performance Assessments
Adviser performance assessments (APAs) assess how well individual Advisers are delivering the services required in aid agreements over a 12 month period.
