Administrative costs as % of total programme costs. If agency subcontracts to other agencies, what are the intermediary transaction costs?
Estimation of cost per unit, e.g. per ‘beneficiary’, per facility, per item delivered etc. for inter-agency comparison purposes. Does the agency demonstrate a ‘culture of economy’, i.e. is it concerned with making best use of resources, especially when given as ‘free goods’ (as with service packages such as airlifts). Perceived impact of programme (both immediate effects, and on longer term sustainability of benefits).
