What do indicators measure




















Also, interpersonal communication implies a two-way discussion. This indicator is attainable because data for this indicator will be collected through a question in a larger, project-funded survey. This is directly related to the outcome as individuals who have talked to someone about cross-generational sex have likely participated either directly or indirectly in interpersonal communication about the campaign. This indicator is implicitly time-bound, but not explicitly.

Based on answers to the above questions, what is the revised proposed indicator? To show change or progress in a program, a reference point must be established. The reference point is often chosen before or at the start of a program to assess the progress of the program over time. At the same time, implementation timelines do not always allow for baseline data to be collected. In these cases reference points can be set up at other times in the program. Depending on the stage of the intervention, a reference group can be established in one of several ways see Figure 1 in Step 5 :.

For example, the Fataki campaign described earlier chose to establish a reference point through a control group, which was then compared to those who were exposed to the Fataki campaign.

This method is an acceptable way of evaluating a program, although it creates complications when used for ongoing monitoring. Targets define the path and end destination of what a program hopes to achieve and is a number or percentage which will measure success. Making a table like the one below can provide a method for tracking the progress of the program and understanding how each indicator, reference point, and target fits with the logic model.

These designated points in time are usually referred to as benchmarks. Ideally, at least one round of data collection should occur between the reference point and the end of the program. If the data are collected at the midpoint of the program, it is called a midline. If data are collected at the end of the program, it is called an endline see Figure 1.

In the Fataki example, only endline data was collected. The frequency of collecting data is mostly dependent on the cost and length of the program — longer programs, or those with more funding, can typically collect comprehensive data more frequently than shorter programs or those with less funding.

Proper indicators are crucial to any program as they provide data needed to track program progress. By closely tracking the progress of a program, any problems can be quickly identified and addressed. Being able to address problems in a timely manner can help improve programs and ensure better results.

Better results allows for informed progress reports grounded in evidence, which help prove the effectiveness of a program to current and future funders. Inputs include the resources, contributions, and investments that go into a program. Process indicators provide information about the scope and quality of activities implemented, and consist of inputs as well as outputs; these are considered monitoring indicators.

Performance indicators are most commonly used to measure changes towards progress of results, and include outcomes; these are considered evaluation indicators. Reference point is a point before, during, or at the end of a program where indicators are used to establish program characteristics in order to provide a point of comparison as the program progresses.

Targets are pre-established goals that are set for the program. Midline refers to data collected at the mid point of a program. Endline refers to data collected at the end of a program. Global Fund.

Commonly, organizations are able to track how many events they have held, and how many people have participated outputs , but not how people have changed their attitudes or behaviours as a result outcomes , especially over time. The main indicator of impact should be a reduction in the prevalence and incidence of violence, but that takes years to achieve and to measure.

So more indicators are needed to gauge whether programmes are moving in the right direction. Monitoring and evaluation frameworks and plans should incorporate both process and results indicators. Illustrative Indicators at the National and Programmatic Level:. Available in English. Available in English and Spanish. Available in Spanish.

Community Mobilization. Indicators can be developed to track a specific programme or intervention; to track national progress across sectors; and to track progress across countries globally. The United Nations General Assembly requested the Statistical Commission to develop and propose, in consultation with the Commission on the Status of Women, a set of possible indicators on violence against women in order to assist States in assessing the scope, prevalence and incidence of violence against women.

In response to the General Assembly, the Statistical Commission, formed the Friends of the Chair group to build on the previous work undertaken by the United Nations Statistical Division, Regional Statistical Commissions and the Division for the Advancement of Women , and the Special Rapporteur on violence against women , its causes and consequences, to establish a proposed set of indicators. The current nine interim indicators, which were accepted by the Statistical Commission in February , are as follows:.

An Expert Group Meeting was convened by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Conference of European Statisticians in September to discuss the development and testing of a survey module and methodology to measure the interim set of violence against women indicators.

The report is available in English and the updates, along with the survey module and complimentary tools are available from the UNECE website. Overview of Violence against Women and Girls.
