This page summarises an initial, internal brainstorming on indicators. {{Under construction|THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS!}}{{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/Geoportal, get started with output indicators and validate them with Russell case a number is converted to a scale (are they good ones? could they be presented in a better way? etce.)* Mid-term objective: GICHD publication on (outcome) indicators, their development, etcg. by mid-2015 1 =poor, 5 = Examples of dimensions of change relevant to mine action ==__NOEDITSECTION__From a document distributed during the Copenhagen workshop in 2013good).Examples of dimensions of change relevant to mine action (outcome level):* Changes relating to land and land use* Changes relating to safety / risk from mine and ERW* Changes relating to national capacity to address mine and ERW problems* Changes relating to gender* Change in the support to mine and ERW victims

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

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

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

== Collection Examples of indicators ==__NOEDITSECTION__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: ===__NOEDITSECTION__

=== Indicators mentioned in the UN M&E framework: =References ==__NOEDITSECTION__In the * UN M&E framework for mine action, indicators are targeted to measure the progress towards the UN-specific mine action objectives. They address two levels: vision-level and strategic objectives. The latest document describing those indicators is this one: [[Media:20140318(v2) - Survey Instrument for Pilot.docx|UN Survey Instrument]] === Inspirational indicators from WHO document ===__NOEDITSECTION__Cf. http://www.who.int/healthinfo/systems/WHO_MBHSS_2010_full_web.pdf?ua=1 -- write a summary here after going through the document. === Indicators mentioned in a discussion about operational efficiency ===__NOEDITSECTION__From a discussion between Helen, Rana and Elisabeth:* % of areas worked on that had mines* % of areas worked on that had UXOs* Average size of cleared area* Average size of surveyed area == References (external links) ==__NOEDITSECTION__* Feinstein International Center: ''Participatory Impact Assessment: A Design Guide''; available at [http://fic.tufts.edu/assets/PIA-guide_revised-2014-3.pdfParticipatory Impact Assessment: A Design Guide]* World Health Organization: ''Monitoring the Building Blocks of Health Systems: A Handbook of Indicators and their Measurement Strategies''; available at [http://www.who.int/healthinfo/systems/WHO_MBHSS_2010_full_web.pdf?ua=1A Handbook of Indicators and their Measurement Strategies]* Mikkel Nedergaard (DDG): ''Outcome Monitoring in Humanitarian Mine Action'', The Journal of ERW and Mine Action, 2014; available at [http://www.jmu.edu/cisr/journal/18.1/focus/nedergaard.shtml Outcome Monitoring in Humanitarian Mine Action]* Miscellaneous links/resources related to '''Outcome Mapping''' (please update as you find useful material):** [http://www.researchtoaction.org/2012/01/outcome-mapping-a-basic-introduction/Outcome Mapping: A Basic Introduction]** [http://www.idrc.ca/EN/Resources/Publications/Pages/IDRCBookDetails.aspx?PublicationID=121Building Learning and Reflection into Development Programs]** [http://www.outcomemapping.ca/Outcome Mapping Learning Community]
