Dutch term or phrase: meetwaarde
Ik kan er niet helemaal de vinger opleggen. Value is het niet, en measured value gaat uit van iets dat al gebeurd is. Het document is een subsidieaanvraag, waarbij je moet uitleggen hoe je te werk zult gaan.

- De beoogde resultaten op outputniveau zijn SMART weergegeven (indicatoren + meetwaarden)

English translation:value / measurement
Explanation:
'Meetwaarde' is parsed as 'value' in English. You can also use 'measurement' in some cases. I would need to see the context to know which would be more appropriate.

Ik ben uiteindelijk toch voor "target value" gegaan en heb de cliënt er even op gewezen. Nog geen klachten gehoord... Dank weer!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Probleem is alleen dat het in de toekomst plaatsvindt: de beoogde resultaten. Indicator kan bijvoorbeeld succesvol afronden van een cursus zijn, meetwaarde het aantal personen die hem hebben afgerond. Dus op 1 september 2011 zijn 300 jongeren getraind in het gebruik van druppelirrigatie, ik noem maar iets. De meetwaarde is hier het aantal getrainde jongeren, maar kan ook iets minder telbaars zijn. Die moet dus van tevoren geïdentificeerd worden: hoe ga je resultaat meten?

En dit kan ook op metingen in de toekomst betrekking hebben. Misschien dat daar je verwarring in ligt?

performance indicator


Explanation:
I think that in this particular context it can be translated as this in the sense of key performance indicator. I would translate "indicatoren en meetwaarden" as "(performance) indicators.

See the following website:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_indicator
"A performance indicator or key performance indicator (KPI) is a measure of performance.[1] Such measures are commonly used to help an organization define and evaluate how successful it is, typically in terms of making progress towards its long-term organizational goals[2]. "
