== Principles for the development of indicators ===== From a presentation from DDG: ===__NOEDITSECTION__
* '''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?
* '''Owned''' - Do the local communities and programme management agree that this indicator makes sense?
=== Other approaches? =SMART & SMARTER==__NOEDITSECTION__SMART is a mnemonic/acronym, giving criteria to guide in the setting of objectives/indicators.* Specific* Measurable* Achievable* Relevant* Time-bound* (Evaluate)* (Reevaluate)
See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria Wikipedia article] == Categories /Levels of indicators ==__NOEDITSECTION__This is just to have different sets Indicators are of indicators, for different types / levels/purposes/areas...
* Output-level indicators
* Outcome-level indicators
* Performance indicators
* Impact-level indicators?* Activity-level indicators?
