Session 6 Identifying Indicators
Session Objective • Apply an existing PHE tool to select standardized M&E indicator(s) for a proposed PHE project • Formulate local, project-specific indicators.
Key Characteristics of Indicators • PRECISE e.g., defined the same way by all people • SENSITIVE e.g., Changes proportionately in response to actual changes in the condition being measured • CONSISTENT e.g., Not changing over time so that it always measures the same thing • MEASURABLE e.g., able to be recorded and analyzed in quantitative and qualitative terms
Key Considerations for Indicator Selection • The intervention itself (e.g., set of activities/procedures) • “Target” or the anticipated result in quantifiable terms • Result Chain Factor
Result Chain Factor SUCCESS Accurate Results Chain Well Executed Project Desired Results The “if-then” linkage between boxes leads to used to design THEORY FAILURE Inaccurate Results Chain Well Executed Project Desired Results does not lead to used to design PROGRAM FAILURE Accurate Results Chain Poorly Executed Project Desired Results used to design does not lead to TOTAL FAILURE! Inaccurate Results Chain Poorly Executed Project Desired Results does not lead to used to design SUCCESS = Sound Theory + Good Implementation Adapted from Foundations for Success (2005). “WWF Standards of Conservation Project and Programme Management”
Marine Protected Area (MPA) Established and Managed by Community Coastal Habitats Protected Regeneration of coral reef and associated reef fish Improved flow of ecological goods and services to the community Improved Food Security Action / Intervention Result Chain Factor Additional Factors Establishment and management of MPA by the community Coastal habitats protected Coral and fish regenerated, improved flow of ecological goods and services to the community Results Chain: CRM intervention to achieve a food security outcome
IF coordinated, THEN conservation and health/population interventions will share the cost/effort leading to improved efficiency PHE Operational Linkages – Assumptions Results Chain #1 : Implementation Efficiencies to Achieve Health and Conservation Outcomes Adapted from Foundations for Success (2005) Conventional Wisdom on Causal Linkages among Population, Health, and Environment Interventions and Targets

Integrated Indicators • Process / Outputs (Program-Based) • Number of linked messages/materials created • Number and frequency of PHE educational sessions provided in the target community • Number of new PHE partnerships created that make linkages among organizations or institutions from different sectors • Outcomes / Impacts (Population-Based) • Percent of households knowledgeable about or aware of a specific PHE issue • Percent of communities in target/project area receiving all three PHE elements • Number of enabling local policies supporting PHE (Measures a linkage aspect of a PHE approach or intervention)
Value Added Indicators • Process / Outputs (Program-Based) • Percent of leadership positions held by women on community-based natural resource management committees • Net dollar value of FP products socially marketed by CBD agents • Amount of money saved each month (firewood expenditure) among households that install and use improved cooking stoves (ICS) • Outcomes / Impacts (Population-Based) • Percentage of households that earn income from the sale of cooking oil processed from moringa seeds • Incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) among children under age five • Percent of young (15-24 yr) ecologist who report use of condom during last sexual intercourse (Measures value added in one sector as a result of work targeted in another sector)
TASK - Selecting Indicators • Using the MEASURE guide and worksheet, select indicators for each of the sector objectives in your proposed PHE project framework. Select at least one standard indicator for each Intervention/Result Chain Factor (RCF). If you can not locate a suitable indicator, then formulate one. • If time permits, work on a second Intervention for one or more of your Sectoral Objectives. Alternatively you could work on an Integrated Indicator or one Value-Added Indicator. Time: 45 minutes
