CDR 1.3.3 Number of people covered by new measures in the field of disaster/climate risk

This indicator counts people living in areas covered by implemented measures based on a disaster or climate risk assessment that improve resilience and/or biodiversity. These could for instance be people who:

• Live in a community protected by flood defences or live near reforestation projects or protected areas;

• Live in a community covered by Early Warning Systems;

• Live in a community that is engaged in sustainable land management;

•  Live in a watershed in which one or more measures to improve water resources management have been implemented;

• Live downstream from a watershed in which one or more measures to improve water resources management have been implemented

As this is an output indicator, it focuses on the immediate results of implemented measures rather than whether the people actually benefit from them.

• Gender 

• Age  

• Left behind/vulnerable population group  

The number of people living in areas covered by new measures, based on a disaster or climate risk assessment, that aim to improve resilience and/or biodiversity. Measures must have been specifically designed following an assessment to be counted under this indicator.

Project Documents: List of measures implemented (condition: based on disaster or climate risk assessment).

Government Records: Any official documentation or agreements related to the implemented measures.

Community Verification: Testimonies or records from community leaders or community members on the implementation of the measures.

Public or other reliable records on the number of people living in areas where measures have been implemented.

Data should be collected continuously throughout the project or whenever a significant milestone is reached.

1. List Measures: Identify and list the implemented measures from project documentation.

2. Estimate Population: Use population data for the areas covered by the measures to estimate the number of people benefiting.

3. Cross-Verify Data: Use community or government sources to verify measure implementation and population estimates.

4. Disaggregate Data: Ensure that data is disaggregated by gender, age, and vulnerable groups.

Challenge: Accurately estimating the number of people affected by large-scale measures like watershed management.

Approach: Do your best to make reasonable estimates and avoid overreporting. Ensure estimates are based on transparent and well-documented assumptions. Always record the methodology used for calculating the number of people reached.
