II. FIRST APPLICATION: ITPMI 2009

Gaps and challenges classified in three broad categories

Related to capacity

Related to institutional and structural issues

Related to challenges internal to each group of stakeholders

17

III. EVOLUTION Collaboration with CSEND started in 2010. The aim was to strengthen the methodological aspects of the Index making A second generation of the ITPMI questionnaire was developed jointly Data was collected during the FEATS conferences in the participating countries in

late 2010. The aim of the 2nd round of data collection and analyses was to validate the

action variables The 2010 survey also serves as a pre-test to assess the effectiveness of the

ITPM Questionnaire

18

CHANGES MADE TO THE 2009 QUESTIONNAIRE

1. Adaptation of the questions according to the action variables (AVs) based on the results of the 2009 questionnaire

2. Systematic inclusion of the actor types3. Assessment of relative importance of

AVs4. Adding qualitative questions to check

completeness of the Index

19

IV. SECOND APPLICATION: ITPMI 2010

The 2010 Questionnaire has 27 quantitative questions and 2 open questions Total number of respondents, n = 100

FACTOR ANALYSIS

Result: Three theoretical dimensions can be

meaningfully bundled together through factor analysis;

Questions regarding governance, participation and representativeness constitute a factor on their own.
