DOTS for Investment
For investment projects, the overall development outcome rating is a synthesis of four performance categories that are informed by the indicators agreed with the client—financial performance, economic performance, environmental and social performance and private sector development impact.
Development Outcome: Investments
| Performance Category | General Indicators and Benchmarks | Examples of Specific Indicators Assessed Against Targets |
| Financial Performance | Returns to financiers, e.g., financial returns at or above weighted-average cost of capital | Return on invested capital, return on equity, project implemented on time and on budget |
| Economic Performance | Returns to society, e.g., economic returns at or above 10 percent | Economic return on invested capital, number of connections to basic services, loans to small enterprises, people employed, tax payments |
| Environmental and Social Performance | Project meets IFC’s Performance Standards | Environmental and social management systems, effluent or emission levels, community development programs |
| Private Sector Development Impact | Project contributes to improvement for the private sector beyond the project company | Demonstration effects (other firms replicating a new approach, product, or service), linkages to other private companies, corporate governance improvements |
