How to Use the Illustrative Indicators in this Section
This section provides sample indicators for some objectives typical of FSP. Output indicators measure the immediate deliverables. For example,“200 community leaders acquire conflict resolution skills in a 30-hour training program.” Outcome indicators refer to measures of higher-level objectives or results that are attributable to a program. For example, “Community leaders use new conflict management skills to resolve community disputes” or “Increased social cohesion and trust in targeted communities.”
The sample indicators can serve as rough models for thinking about how to measure and manage various kinds of project objectives. Remember, the most important aspect of selecting indicators is to ground them in local understandings of progress and success. This means you must include local stakeholders in indicator discussions.
The following lists of indicators are not exhaustive.
Rather, they are a set of reference points as you focus in on ME&L and program design. It is essential to adapt indicators and to develop completely new ones that better reflect locally defined and realistic benchmarks for program performance.
As you select and develop indicators, also look at their corresponding data collection tools and methods in Part III and critically weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each one. This method will make for better-informed choices about which methods are best for your program.
Finally note that the indicators listed presume that you have already checked that they can be attributed to your program.
