Since 2006 UNESCO and its IOC utilize results-based management techniques for programming and evaluating its programmes and projects. The purpose is to shift managerial and administrative emphasis from a process-focused approach to one based on performance and results (outcomes).
In the case of IODE 4 main activities have been identified that will steer the IODE programme. These are:
- Globally accessible portal to distributed ocean data and information sources: development of technological framework and exchange standards
- Development and updating of national oceanographic data and information management capacity in Member States
- Global accessible clearing-house service for oceanographic factual and intellectual information
- Programme strategy, management, inter-agency liaison and outreach
These 4 activities will generate the following 6 results:
- Globally accessible portal to distributed ocean data and information sources
- Publication, dissemination and adoption by MS of a set of standards and best practices providing a complete framework for the exchange and dissemination of oceanographic data and information
- Development, dissemination and use by target audiences of an oceanographic data and information management training system (OceanTeacher)
- Development and updating of national oceanographic data and information management capacity in Member States
- Globally accessible clearing-house service for oceanographic factual and intellectual information (directories, portals, publications,…);
- Global awareness about oceanographic data and information management amongst target audiences
Translated into programme activities we can reflect the above activities in the following activity matrix:
