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:
| Outcomes | Indicators |
|---|---|
Physical and Psychological Safety
|
|
Land Use and Livelihoods
|
|
National Mine Action Ownership
