다측면적 청소년 역량강화사업의 성과 평가에서 지표와 지수의 활용 사례 비교 연구

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how 'indicator' and 'index' are applied differently through the case of actual project, and what the pros and cons of each are. Based on this study, implications for effective use of indicator and index are derived.
 Originality: In order to effectively evaluate multidimensional coucomes such as poverty and human competence, it is necessary to use a index rather than a single indicator. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for various investigations of the use of multidimensional preformance index.
 Methodology: The performance evaluation of the 'Burundi BTS Project' as a case study was simultaneously applied using a method using 'indicators' based on PDM and a method using 'index' based on the Alkire-Foster Method. In particular, the 'Post-Only Non-homogeneous Comparison Design' was used as a method to conduct performance evaluation of the 'Burundi BTS Project'.
 Result: As a result of performance evaluation using the PDM performance indicators, it was confirmed that the project was successful in 6 out of 8 indicators. As a result of performance evaluation using the LIFE index, the number of youth deprived of competence decreased by 42.8%, and the degree to which youth who lacked competence reached their target competence level improved by 17.2%. The LIFE index was also have improved by 54%. In addition, it was found that the method using ‘index’ was more appropriate, especially in projects that evaluate multidimensional outcomes such as changes in youth competence.
 Conclusion and Implication: Most international development cooperation projects generally evaluate performance using indicators. However, it is necessary to conduct diverse and specialized case studies on how to use index to effectively and efficiently evaluate performance outcomes according to the purpose of the project.
