Indicator Protocol (Reference Sheet) #1
Name of Indicator:
DESCRIPTION
Precise Definition(s): The indicator definition states exactly what
should be measured. Clarify your terms here.
The definition must be detailed enough to ensure that different people
at different times, given the task of collecting data for a given
indicator, will use the exact same definitions (have the same
understanding) to collect identical types of data.
Disaggregated by: Identify how data will be separated to improve the
breadth of understating of results reported. Typical ways to
disaggregate data include geographic location and gender.
PLAN FOR DATA ACQUISITION
Data collection instructions: Describe exactly for your own staff the
steps they need to take to collect the data.
Identify what methods and instruments they should use. Note any
equipment required to collect the data. Attach data forms when
necessary. The instructions definition must be detailed enough to
ensure that different people at different times, given the task of
collecting data for a given indicator, will use the exact same
procedures to collect identical types of data.
Data Source: The source is the place where the original data are
obtained. Usually the group of individuals or organization that
conducts the data collection effort. Data sources may include
community volunteers, clinic records, school records...
Frequency and timing of data acquisition: Note how often you will
collect the data (and dates if possible).
Estimated Cost of Data Acquisition: Provide a rough estimate of what
it will cost to collect and analyze this data.
Individual responsible and location of data storage: Identify who will
take the lead / be the primary person responsible for collecting data
on this indicator. Describe how data will be stored over time and in
what formats
PLAN FOR DATA ANALYSIS, REVIEW, & REPORTING
Data Analysis and Reporting: Note when your team should report on the
data (reporting dates and to whom) when will this info be presented to
your staff, the community your donor etc.
DATA QUALITY ISSUES
Data quality risks, and limitations (potential issues in data
capturing, verification, analysis, or reporting and limitations /
short comings of the indicator: Identify where data may be weak or
limited.
Actions planned to ensure data quality limitations (i.e. data
verification procedures / actions to address potential risks / data
limitation issues): Describe actions taken to address data
limitations.
OTHER NOTES
Notes on Baselines/Targets: Any comments relevant to understanding
baseline findings or targets set (i.e. critical assumptions, potential
issues… etc)
Baseline is a record of what exists in an area prior to an action. It
is primarily a benchmark for the future. The baseline values establish
the starting point from which change can be measured.
Targets are the magnitude or level of outputs expected to be achieved.
Targets are values against which the actual program/project
achievements are measured. They should be realistic and quantitative
statements of expected outcomes. If the targets are qualitative, there
is need for a detailed statement of expected state of affairs at the
end of a planning period.
Other Notes: Provide any other information relevant to data collection
and reporting of this indicator.
