5.1.4. Monitoring and reporting
• A suite of appropriate indicators should be developed within the Logical Framework to better monitor progress in Project Outputs and Activities. The Project Coordinator should develop these in consultation with UNDP and GEF. Quantitative indicators should be aggregated from (a) a ‘bottom-up’ approach (e.g. performance of each activity (e.g. planned versus actual performance with respect to timeliness, budget, outcomes, technical reports, numbers of meetings); and (b) ‘top down’ indicators reflecting the broad objectives of the OFM Project (e.g. numbers of Pacific SIDS with appropriate legislation; observer programmes; participation in CPWCPF Commission meetings).   
 
• A baseline study of OFM in Pacific SIDS, including a summary of the
achievements and shortfalls of WCPF Convention commitments, should be prepared. This was recommended in the 2007 Annual Review of the OFM Project. It will be useful background for future initiatives (see 5.3).
 
• The monitoring and reporting requirements of the major donor, GEF, and implementing agency UNDP, should be assessed to reduce unnecessary bureaucratic procedures. The PCU Coordinator should enter a dialogue with UNDP Project Management staff to streamline processes in the second term.
