Approach and Methodology for Monitoring and Evaluation

This report provides a detailed M&E standardised approach applicable to all eleven Demonstration Projects and the overall project impact, undertaken in close conjunction with the LHCs, FCs, and Solution Providers. This approach will incorporate the defined KPI Framework (Section 1.3.6.2) (based on existing Smart Cities projects and programmes, and extended with KPIs specific to the +CityxChange project). Moreover, the standardised approach includes transformation of the incoming measurements to KPI measures into a M&E scoring output. In addition, the results from a workshop held during the first consortium meeting will be described. Finally, the report will specify periodic updates of the KPI Framework to ensure most relevant KPIs are being captured and the frequency of collection is appropriate (connected to Task 7.1).
