APPENDIX I
BREAKDOWN OF THE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS BY PROGRAM
The performance assessments for individual Programs in the PPR 2014 comprise:
Section I: Overview of Progress in 2014
An analytical summary presenting progress made in 2014 towards achieving the Results by the Program concerned and any challenges encountered during the period under review. For the first time in 2014, the assessment of the implementation of the Development Agenda (DA) has been mainstreamed and therefore integrated into the Overview of Progress. In line with the Budgetary Process for Projects Proposed by the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP) for the Implementation of the DA Recommendations, approved by the WIPO Assemblies in 201064, the reporting on the DA continues to include detailed reporting on both the implementation of DA projects and DA Recommendations.
Section II: Performance Data
The table in this section recapitulates the Expected Results to which the Program contributes and the Performance Indicators, which measure Programs’ contribution to the Results as approved by Member States in the Program and Budget 2014/15. Baselines have been updated, as appropriate, to reflect the status at the end of 2013. The performance data tables continue to reflect both the original baselines (as per the Program and Budget 2014/15), the updated baselines (as per the end of 2013), and targets (as per the Program and Budget 2014/15) for comparability purposes in relation to the performance data and assessments. In line with Member States’ requests, the tables have been further enhanced in 2014. Programs were provided an opportunity to define targets that had not been defined in the Program and Budget 2014/15, i.e. “tbd” targets, during the baseline update exercise (launched in July 2014), using the year-end 2013 data as the basis. Targets that were not defined during this process remain undefined, and performance data are consequently rated as “not assessable.” The performance data for 2014 in relation to each indicator is provided in the fourth column. The fifth column provides an assessment of performance using the “traffic light system”.
Section III: Resource Utilization for 2014
The final section provides information on the Approved Budget 2014/15, the Budget after Transfers 2014/15, and actual expenditure and budget utilization in 2014. The reporting in this section includes two tables:
The Budget and Actual Expenditure (by result) provides information on the Approved Budget 2014/15, the Budget after Transfers 2014/15, and actual expenditure by Result for 2014. In 2014, the EPM planning system was enhanced to support the Organizational move to position level planning. The adjustments across Results in the Budget after Transfers 2014/15 in Programs reflect this new and more accurate methodology for allocation of personnel resources.
The Budget and Actual Expenditure (personnel and non-personnel resources) provides information on the Approved Budget 2014/15, the Budget after Transfers 2014/15, and actual expenditure 2014 (personnel and non-personnel). Explanations are provided for the differences between the Approved Budget and Budget after Transfers, as well as for budget utilization, taking into account both a Results view and a view of type of expenditure (personnel and non-personnel).

APPENDIX II
IMPLEMENTATION OF FUNDS-IN-TRUST 2014
As part of the efforts to enhance the integration of all activities under the results-based management framework of the Organization, irrespective of the source of funds, this Appendix provides an overview of activities implemented under the WIPO Funds-in-Trust (FITs). At the same time, this report responds to a request by donors for a more comprehensive report on all FITs, including both programmatic and financial information. In order to streamline reporting, the FIT report is an integral part of the Program Performance Report, providing an annual view of activities implemented in 2014. The next annual FIT report will be included in the PPR for 2014/15. This Appendix reports on the FITs listed in the table below and excludes the FITs for Junior Professional Officers (JPOs).
