I want to know if any methods exists in some countries by which they monitor Non Governmental Organisations such as listing them in terms of which NGO had better impacts like the Stock Exchange does in Financial terms.
I am advising a PhD student who is working on NGOs' performance versus leadership traits. However, what you seek has to be researched since you have to define which impacts you are interested in. Maybe you may find information within the reports of the European Union or IMF which support NGOs work and performance because they provide funding.
Are you thinking in terms of cost-benefit analysis of NGO productivity? The journals below focus on benchmarking NGO results. I have also attached a funding criteria, from the government of Canada, to provide contextual expectations:

The first link, is for an organization that grants funds to NGOs, it may be useful to see how the application process is undertaken and how they monitor the funds once dispersed:

Here is a list of NGOs and contact info:

Yes, Impacts of NGOs can be measured by
1. Compare the changes taken place due to intervention with Baseline, if it is community based intervention.
2. NGOs inter -organizational relationship with other Government or NGOs
3. Physical infrastructure facilities developed in operation area vs before their work and after the situation in the areas
4. Sector-wise Stakeholders Organized by NGO
Likewise we can have a framework.
Best are - Before-After comparison; inter-organizational partnership of NGO
But most of the external evaluations do not cater to all these areas while doing the assessments. It is very costly and tricky to measure these results, with explicit recommendations.
