xv. Performance assessment – There is considerable scope to improve thequality of impact information available to AusAID, building on bestpractice systems and processes that already exist within the Agency butwhich are not followed (see Section 6.2). Greater investment in baselinestudies, performance measurement and formal evaluations would not onlyimprove the quality of performance information available, but would alsocontribute to improved activity targeting and design over time.60 The Contribution of Australian Aid to Papua New Guinea’s Development 1975–2000
