NEW SMARTKPIS.COM REPORT RANKS THE TOP NGO KPIS OF 2011-2012

CaptureJune 20, 2013, Melbourne, Australia – The KPI Institute, the global authority on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) research and education announces the launch of a new report in its 2011-2012 edition of its popular Top 25 series of reports. The series is based on research conducted through www.smartKPIs.com, which contains over 20,000 Key Performance Indicator examples, making it the world’s largest source of thoroughly documented KPIs.

Non-profit organizations (NPOs) include all entities where funds are not distributed to owners, but are used in pursuing the organization’s reasons of existence. Several examples would be charitable organizations, trade unions and public arts organizations. Most governments and government agencies meet this definition, but in most countries they are considered a separate type of organization and not counted as non-profit organizations. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), sometimes called civil society organizations, are entities where there is no governmental participation. KPIs measure the efficiency in raising the resources needed and the impact of their redistribution.

The Top 25 NGO KPIs of 2011-2012 report compiles the most popular 25 KPIs used by the NGO. The methodology used to conduct the research consisted of ranking the KPI examples published in the NGO industry of smartKPIs.com, based on their number of views in 2011. Out of more than 500 NGO KPIs available on smartKPIs.com, the 25 most viewed by the members and visitors of smartKPIs.com were selected and analysed in detail in this report.
