What Do We Want To Know? Selecting Indicators

What Do We Want To Know? Selecting Indicators

2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago Published by
This toolkit was developed by Dr. Linda Mayoux.

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS TOOLKIT:

Indicators are needed in order to make the process of investigation manageable. But what exactly are indicators? How do we condense the complexities of reality into a few manageable and measurable indicators? Who should do the condensing? How do we assess the practical implications of the inevitably partial view of reality obtained?

This tool outlines definitions and misconceptions, challenges, guidelines for selecting and using indicators for impact assessment, and practical and institutional considerations.
