In the framework of this contract, the European Commission will be monitoring the progress of its external cooperation in Caribbean, Pacific, Cuba and the Overseas Countries and Territories. Preparation and submission of analytical assessments to management and other involved parties enables focused management decisions to be taken in order to: - ensure that projects and other activities remain on course to reach their objectives, with any adjustments being made with minimal disruption; - support regular reporting mechanisms including to the Member States, the European Parliament and the Council; - ensure early feedback from implementation to subsequent design, in advance of conclusions from possible ex-post evaluations. Results-oriented monitoring (ROM) allows a rapid appreciation of project and programme progress towards results, as well as of wider implications and provides the EC with independent advice on its portfolio. The ROM system was initially developed and tested in 2000/2001 before expansion during 2002 to all regions of the EC external co-operation. In 2007 the system completed its sixth full year The main objective of the ROM system is to gather results-oriented information on projects and programmes in the field and to report on progress in order to maintain and, where possible, improve the quality of external co-operation activities through timely, independent, well-targeted information on implementation.
