 Measurable objectives for public services provision

The Italian regional development policy (Italian National Strategic Reference Framework for 2007-2013) contains an innovative initiative aimed at improving quality and availability of public services provision of key importance for citizens' well-being and relevant for regional policy action.

  • Specific targets are set for the provision of public services, measured through eleven indicatorspdf, 21.3 Kb in:
  • The achievement of targets is linked to a performance-based mechanism measuring progress made by the Regions of the South and the Ministry of Public Education as regards the quality of education.
  • The indicators are selected on the basis of compliance with three requirements: measurability, accountability, and public understanding and sharing. Data are regularly updated and it's possible to explore indicators also by using an innovative web interactive tool. Consult the Database and DPS eXplorer
  • Targets are set at a minimum level which is equal for all Southern Regions.
  • € 3 billion from the Fund for Under-utilized Areas for 2007-2013 are assigned to the eight Southern Regions and the Ministry of Public Education if quantified targets are met in 2013. A mid-term assessment, assigning a share of the incentive funds, takes place in 2010 on the basis of the progress made in closing the gap between baseline level and targets.
