A Results-oriented approach to APEC's Supply Chain Connectivity Initiative, October 2009

At the Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) in July 2009, the Policy Support Unit (PSU) was requested to develop “holistic tools that are applicable to APEC’s Supply Chain Connectivity Initiative.” It was recognized that the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) was one possible tool but that other measures could also be used. The PSU agrees that the LPI could be augmented with additional measures and proposes the use of a Results Framework to capture the performance measurement of the Supply Chain Connectivity Initiative (SCI) in a holistic manner.
