Methodology for monitoring the implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision: Developing a checklist of key performance indicators

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to enhance the capacity of the Executing Agency and the Monitoring Body of the Yamoussoukro Decision Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) to monitor and evaluate the liberalization of the African air transport market. This entails having an objective and reliable tool for tracking implementation of the Decision, so the overall objective is to develop a tool for assessing its implementation by African member States and eligible African airlines. The objectives were to: clearly articulate the meaning of “implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision”; develop a checklist of key performance indicators (KPIs) of implementation based on the provisions of the Decision and its institutional and regulatory instruments (Decision regulations); identify provisions of the Decision that may be impacted by COVID-19; organize a workshop on a checklist of Yamoussoukro Decision key performance indicators (via webinar); conduct a pilot survey of Decision performance in selected States using the key performance indicators developed; finalize the key performance indicators on the basis of the survey; and assess the possibility of linking the key performance indicators developed to the dashboard already put in place by the Executing Agency of the SAATM. This document is the final report of the study.
