The Output-Outcome Monitoring Framework (OOMF) is the performance monitoring framework for monitoring schemes of the Government of India. The Development Monitoring & Evaluation Office (DMEO), NITI Aayog, coordinates with Ministries/ Departments to prepare the annual OOMF for their schemes. This document is laid out in Parliament alongside the Union Budget every year as an Outcome Budget for all schemes with an annual outlay of Rs. 500 Crore or more. The respective Ministry/Department lays before the parliament, the OOMF for schemes with a budget outlay of less than Rs. 500 crore, along with their Detailed Demand for Grants. The targets and progress of Central Sector (CS) and Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) outputs and outcomes are tracked by the respective Ministries/Departments.

OOMF based monitoring enables Ministries/ Departments to review the performance of schemes on key performance indicators and take appropriate actions to improve scheme implementation strategies.

Ministries/Departments are guided by recommendations from evaluation study reports to strengthen the design/delivery mechanisms of their schemes.

This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation; Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Planning and Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
