This document provides guidance for core output and outcome indicators (including Bilateral indicators) for the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021. It is intended to support the stakeholders involved in developing or managing EEA or Norway Grants funded Programmes - principally those programmes which are bound by the EEA and Norway Grants Regulations. Stakeholders include National Focal Points (NFP), Programme Operators (POs), Fund Operators (FOs), Project Promoters (PPs), and the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO).
Caveat: This Core Indicator Guidance is closely linked to the established monitoring procedures under the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021. It should be read in conjunction with the Regulations on the EEA and Norway Grants, the Results Guideline, and the Results Reporting Guide. The Regulations and the Results Guideline take precedence over this guidance in case of any inconsistencies.
The Core indicators Guidance was last updated on 14 November 2019. |

The Results Reporting Guide is designed to guide its readers through the available information for results reporting on the Grants. It provides definitions and explanations for the statistical concepts and terms used for designing, implementing and reporting on programmes under the EEA and Norway Grants 2014–2021. Statistical information is often a basis for analysis and reports on progress and results in programmes and projects. International classifications and definitions, such as from the OECD and Eurostat, have been used as a basis as far as possible.
