Shared ResponsibilityShared Responsibility
Issues are addressed and problems are solved by choice
Consumers, investors, policy developers and those responsible for decisions all have options and must make choices
The governance structure and the processes which guide our decisions must be inclusive, transparent and fair
This is a shared responsibility

Need for EPVNeed for EPV
Decision-makers need assistance in identifying priority issues and realistic expectations for performance
Verification against well-defined performance objectives leads to informed decision-making
Reliable information creates a level playing field for solution providers, solution adopters and other stakeholders

Transparent Reporting of Transparent Reporting of Performance InformationPerformance Information
Essential requirement for effective decision making
Important for stakeholders to identify relevant criteria and performance benchmarks to guide measurement and reporting activities
Need to manage expectations from the outset to avoid misinterpretation of performance information
Efforts to support the marketing of innovative technologies and to build receptor capacity are more likely to succeed
