This page summarises an initial, internal brainstorming on indicators. {{note|THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS!TOC right}}{{note|Further ideas/TODOs:* For each indicator, mention appropriate display mechanisms! --> For this, define categories of display mechanisms* For each indicatorIndicators can be recorded, mention if it is quantitative measured or qualitative, analysed in order to provide a simple and maybe even how it could be calculated/where reliable means to identify achievement measure the data could be taken from.changes connected with an intervention* --> Define a matrix for the main indicator characteristics* The overall goal is or to come up with a reference set of indicators per mine action area (Land release, MRE, Victim assistance, etchelp assess performance.)}} == Important meeting notes ==__NOEDITSECTION__* Indicators cannot be isolated! They always have to can be put in context with outcomes/objectives/etc.* Approach: cause-effect quantitative ("what leads to what"numeric), * qualitative or * Shortpseudo-term objective: quantitative in MINT/Geoportalcase a number is converted to a scale (e.g. 1 = poor, get started with output indicators and validate them with Russell (are they 5 = good ones? could they be presented in a better way? etc.)* Mid-term objective: GICHD publication on (outcome) indicators, their development, etc. by mid-2015

=== Other approaches? =SMART & SMARTER==__NOEDITSECTION__SMART - SMARTER:is a mnemonic/acronym, giving criteria to guide in the setting of objectives/indicators.

See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteriaWikipedia article]

This is just to have different sets Indicators are of indicators, for different types / levels/purposes/areas...

* Impact-level indicators?* Activity-level indicators?
