DLI indicators

DLIs (Disbursement-Linked Indicators) are the results on which World Bank disbursements depend. For each program, the GIS tracks the value of each indicator against its baseline and target, and the resulting disbursed amount.

  • The tab's View full details button: the program's full DLI dashboard.

Quantitative, qualitative, binary (achieved or not) or percentage.

Where the values come from​

Some values are calculated by the GIS from program data (enrolled beneficiaries, executed payments, verified conditionalities); the others are recorded by the monitoring and evaluation team. The indicators themselves (label, type, baseline, target, associated amount) are defined when the program is set up; the screen does not let you create or edit them.

Do not confuse

DLIs concern World Bank disbursements. The project's results framework indicators (PDO, intermediate results, outputs, processes) are tracked in M&E → M&E PTBA, Results framework tab (see Tracking activities and results).
