Systematizing a framework of indicators system involves the adoption of a theoretical model, the identification of priority programs, the measurement of both the performance and process indicators, and the empirical testing of statistics in an operational context. It is based on the systemic, social learning (SL) theory which formulates two basic propositions: First, performance indicators align closely with each other under the three major areas of concern and second, the process variables influence the levels and rates of change occurring in the performance variables. The identification and appraisal of prioritized programs commence with the portrayal of a short-term scenario wherein the agency practices participatory approaches; where the technical area initiates the development of a strong farmer organization, and wherein the community has irrigators developing self-reliance. It proceeds with the appraisal of program using social cost benefit analysis. The development of measures and their empirical testing were operationalized in Division 4, PRIS [Pulangui River Irrigation System], Valencia, Bukidnon, Philippines. Analyses showed that results partially confirmed the assumptions. Actual performance of the system was evaluated as moderate against potential performance. While the statistical analyses showed weak supporting evidence, the process of formulating performance indicators framework showed strong feasibility for attaining effective management in a farmer-managed irrigation system.
