Developing an Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation Flow for Sustainable Investment Projects

Under the circumstances of certain weaknesses in the monitoring and evaluation processes of sustainable investment projects, the paper aims to develop a general integrated flow, encompassing both a project monitoring system and also a project evaluation system for the investment projects involving economic objectives, as well as cross-cutting social and environmental targets. The whole approach is being presented as a flowchart, which highlights the intimate relationship between the monitoring and evaluation processes, and provides a formal framework for performing a logical monitoring and evaluation process, taking into account simultaneously the economic, social and environmental perspectives, within an investment project. Last, but not least, the article states both the estimated advantages and the disadvantages of such a managerial tool, opening new perspectives for developing further improved models and systems.evaluation, flow, investment projects, monitoring, sustainability.

Developing Ecologic Spin-Offs: Strategic Option for Achieving Performance in Energy Industries

The paper aims to emphasize the usefulness of applying an emergent concept in the economic literature (the ecologic spin-off) as main instrument for restructuring the national energy industry, under the circumstances of the increasing pressures provided both by the national and international environment, focused either upon the greenhouse gas emissions reduction or upon the active promotion of energy efficiency principles. The article highlights the fact that the mere existence of an energy market, assumed to operate similar to capital markets, where are supposed to be traded green certificates, may prove inefficient unless rigorous mechanisms for guiding the transition from the classic organization structure of the energy industry towards a new, modern and competitive organization model are being developed. In this context, the ecologic spinoffs may prove to be a main strategic option for ensuring the development of a competitive and efficient energy industry, very similar to the energy industries operating within most of the European Union member countries.spin-off, ecologic spin-off, energy sector, strategy, performance, efficiency, competitiveness.

Assessment methods for gaining efficiency within the financing process of Public-Private Partnerships

The paper aims to emphasize the role, as well as the importance and viability, of developing complex investment projects within Public - Private Partnerships, by analysing the previous experience of developed countries regarding this kind of associative structures. Assuming that some of the public - private partnerships are neither necessary, nor efficient, the paper presents an innovative methodology for assessing the efficiency of the investment projects, financed within Public - Private Partnerships, based upon a set of benchmarks, which are designed to provide objective and precise information about the subject in focus. Positioning each partnership in relation to specific benchmarks represents the main decision tool for building-up Public - Private Partnerships.Public - Private Partnership, efficiency, benchmarks, Local Action Groups, Eco-Efficient Spin-Off.
