Institutional performance management depends on structured indicator systems that align organizational goals with measurable outputs. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) serve as tools for institutional clarity, strategic evaluation, and performance governance across all functional levels. This training program presents frameworks for indicator design, target alignment, performance review, and data based decision support. It offers structured tools for sustaining accountability, improving outcomes, and enabling long term strategic growth.
