Vectorial Project Analysis (VPA)

Vectorial Project Analysis (hereinafter refer to as VPA) is a tool for measuring attainment status of project implementation. This method was developed by the team of Project Management Unit (PMU) of SPFS programme initiated by Dr. Shin IMAI, Regional SPFS Coordinator in Indonesia. Basically, the measurement in VPA uses internal and external indicators to determine improvement status of project impacts which is similarly considered as SWOT (Strengthen, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) system. In farm household development projects, for example, improvement in farmers’ mindset is used as internal indicators while that of farmers’ livelihood is used as external indicators of VPA in measuring impacts of projects implementation. In fact, VPA also can be applied to measure general improvement of physical, human being, rural economy/business condition and so forth.
