King Prajadhipok’s Institute 13

I. Introduction

A. Background and Objectives of the Project

This research project was undertaken by King Prajadhipok’s

Institute in partnership with the Development Studies Program of the
Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines. The project aims to
develop Performance Indicators and Standards for Independent Electoral

Commissions (IECs) based on existing institutional mandates, structures,
processes, programs, and performance management/ development

frameworks of such commissions in Thailand and the Philippines.

The project team identified five key research questions for this

study:

1. What are the performance evaluation and monitoring

schemes, mechanisms, and processes that were officially
established for targeted IECs in Thailand and the Philippines?

2. How were these systems for performance evaluation and

monitoring operated so far?

3. What are the strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and

opportunities for enhancement of these systems for IEC
performance evaluation and monitoring, individually,

comparatively, and collectively?

4. What are specific proposals and recommendations for
addressing each of these strengths, weakness, challenges,

and opportunities from specific stakeholder groups:
Government, Private Sector, Civil Society (including academe)?
