Indicators
A Monitoring and Assessment System provides public institutions and social actors in the territory access to measurements of the actions and investments made for development plans. It also offers an analysis of whether said investments and projects are executed as planned.
The proposed system of indicators of impacts and results below allows for the measurement of the three facets of economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Economic sustainability indicators
Economic sustainability indicators
- Number of direct employments created (permanent, temporary, contracted, volunteer)
- Investment resources for projects with a shared vision within the territory
- Percentage of institutional actors in the territory involved in projects with a shared vision
- Annual increase in the income levels of the population of beneficiaries of an investment
- Increase in the net sales of the producer organizations that are beneficiaries of an investment project
- Internal Rate of Return and Net Present Value of the investment
- Increase in earnings and profits during the measurement period
- Increase in the subsidies received (including donations, reductions in taxes, tax incentives)
- Systematic continuation/renewal of purchase-sale agreements between agricultural companies and business partners

The Global Competitiveness Index (GCI)
The GCI, developed by the World Economic Forum, measures the competitiveness of countries in various geographic regions in different stages of development. The index measures a series of institutions, policies and factors that define the current and mid-term levels of sustainable economic prosperity.
This concept includes both static and dynamic components, classified in twelve pillars of competitiveness:
(1) Improved governance
(2) Increase in infrastructure
(3) Improved macroeconomic environment
(4) Improved healthcare and primary education systems
(5) Improved higher education and professional training systems
(6) Efficiency of the goods market
(7) Efficiency of the job market
(8) Development of the financial market
(9) Increase in technological capacity
(10) Increase in the size of the market
(11) Improved market structure
(12) Advances in incorporating innovation into the territory’s development
