This page summarises an initial, internal brainstorming on indicators.
== Principles for the development of indicators ==
=== From a presentation from DDG: ===
* '''Valid''' - Does the indicator directly represent the change it is intended to measure? Is the change within the scope of the project?
* '''Objective''' - Is the definition precise, simple and unambiguous about what is to be measured?
* '''Reliable''' - Is the data needed to measure the indicator consistent or comparable over time?
* '''Practical''' - Can data be collected easily, on a timely basis and at reasonable costs?
* '''Useful''' - Will the indicator data be useful for programme decision-making and learning?
* '''Owned''' - Do the local communities and programme management agree that this indicator makes sense?
=== Other approaches? ===
== Categories of indicators ==
This is just to have different sets of indicators, for different levels/purposes/areas...
* Output-level indicators
* Outcome-level indicators
* Performance indicators
* Impact-level indicators?
* Activity-level indicators?
== Collection of indicators ==
This is an initial collection of indicators encountered so far in the mine action context. '''It is not yet an assessment regarding their applicability/usefulness/relevance!'''
=== Indicators mentioned in the Copenhagen initiative output document: ===
