Reported implementation rate of the action plan activities (%)

Review of the monitoring report. The implementation rate is calculated by dividing the number of activities actually implemented in the latest full calendar year by the total number of activities planned for that year, expressed as a percentage. Ongoing activities are also counted if implemented successfully according to schedule. Points are allocated based on the reported implementation rate of activities (x): • x < 25% = 0 points. • 25% ≤ x < 90% = linear function. • x ≥ 90% = 5 points.
