of the goal and results at the program level. The data for indicators is derived from both project and program levels. Quality and Effectiveness in the Partnership’s work Program Level Quality Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanisms Indicators for measuring the program level progress have been set and data will be collected regularly for monitoring purposes. A more detailed program monitoring and evaluation plan will be created during this financial period. At project level, common criteria for a good disability project, common monitoring guidelines and internal and external mid-term reviews and evaluations are crucial for maintaining and measuring quality in all phases of the project. The project cycle management tools aim to be such which will create learning while doing for the project management teams, so that the quality does not only show in results but also in processes. Disability Partnership Finland is member in the quality and effectiveness group of Finnish partnership organizations, which provides needed peer support and benchmarking. Ensuring Sustainable Results To ensure sustainable results of the program, we concentrate on: Longstanding partnerships with Southern DPOs, which allows the processes of capacity building and change of attitude take the time that they need to achieve sustainable change Capacity building of the partner DPOs and capacity building and training of People with Disabilities, their communities, service providers and decision makers Strong ownership in the South. All projects are based on the initiatives of the People with Disabilities of the south and their organizations, which ensures high ownership and commitment. Rights perspective to work Strengthening the resource mobilization capacity of the Southern DPOs Coordination with Other Stakeholders The program members in the North and South coordinate their actions with national plans and frameworks where possible and are strongly recommended and advised to network with other DPOs and likeminded organizations to avoid overlapping and combine efforts to fulfil the Rights of the People with Disabilities. The Istanbul Principles and the International Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness” are used as a guideline. Good Governance and Risk Reduction Through good governance risks that the Program faces can be reduced. Good guidelines for essential program components (division of responsibilities, project management tools, financial management rules, resource mobilization strategies etc.) reduce the risk of getting into situations where unexpected internal or external events disturb the program implementation and risk reaching the program goal. Proper process monitoring methods which incorporate early warning mechanisms help
