Monitoring explained

Why monitoring?

The European Commission distributes several solutions called Building Blocks under the DIGITAL programme (and the CEF Telecom programme before that), designed to improve cross-border interoperability of digital public services. To ensure the programme is delivering benefits to citizens and businesses alike, we monitor the adoption and reuse of the Building Blocks. Information on these indicators is collected every quarter and shared via interactive dashboards, that provide real-time insights into the progress and impact of these services. For an in-depth understanding of the methodologies used, please refer to the new Digital Monitoring Framework.

What are we monitoring?

We monitor several KPIs for each of the Building Blocks. Our data collection began under the Connecting Europe Facility Programme, between 2015 and 2022. This programme has ended, but the results are available as a consolidated report.

Under the current DIGITAL Europe funding programme (2021 - 2027), we carry on our Monitoring activities, focusing on a smaller list of Building Blocks. Those figures are updated on a quarterly basis and are publicly available.
