Development Effectiveness Indicator


A Development Effectiveness Indicator is a consolidated measure, used primarily by Development Finance Institutions, of the development effectiveness achieved by an institution.
DEI relates directly to the development results achieved through a particular development intervention or financed activity. The DEI is a composite aggregation of a range of performance measures that may incorporate interventions across various sectors within the development arena. The formulation of a development effectiveness indicator was motivated primarily by the limitations of current development effectiveness reviews and the need to provide a dynamic adaptive mechanism to track effectiveness and provide operational and strategic insight. The indicator was produced by Jason Bygate and Karl Meyer in 2016 in South Africa for emerging markets.
