CDR 1.3.5 Actors supported to promote climate resilient development and improved ecosystems and/or biodiversity

Indicator Definition

Indicator Name CDR 1.3.5 Number of civil society, public or private actors supported to promote climate resilient development and improved ecosystems and/or biodiversity
Indicator Definition

Civil society, public or private actors: This includes a wide range of stakeholders such as civil society organizations (CSOs), public institutions, private sector entities, and other actors involved in governance and service delivery.Supported actors are those who have benefitted from the project either directly through Helvetas or indirectly through our implementing partners. This support can include capacity development, financial assistance, or in-kind contributions such as equipment, training, or materials. They are part of the primary stakeholders and actors important for the project to reach its goals. Consortium partners, service providers and third party collaborators are not included.

Type of Actor:

  • Civil society organisation

  • Private Sector

  • Public Sector

Measuring Unit

The number of civil society organizations, public institutions, or private sector actors that received support to promote climate-resilient development, ecosystem health, or biodiversity.

Examples of Actvities

  • Capacity Building: Training provided to civil society organizations (CSOs), public institutions, and private sector actors on climate resilience and biodiversity conservation.

  • Technical Assistance: Support given to actors to implement best practices in climate resilience or ecosystem health.

  • Policy Advocacy: Supporting organizations in advocating for policies that promote climate adaptation or biodiversity.

  • Partnership Development: Facilitating collaborations between civil society, government, and private sector actors to enhance climate resilience and biodiversity efforts.

Data Collection

Data Source and Means of Verification

Project documents (training attendance lists, workshop reports, technical assistance records).

 Records from supported organizations or institutions (if needed).

 Surveys and interviews with supported actors (for feedback on quality and relevance).

Measuring Frecuency

Data should be collected continuously throughout the project or whenever significant activities are completed.

Data Collection Guidance

Data should be collected continuously throughout the project or whenever significant activities are completed.

Register supported actors: Keep a clear record of each supported civil society, public, or private actor. Include details like their objectives, the activities they participated in, and the outcomes of those activities.

Collect data throughout the project: Gather information through project reports, policy documents, and program records at each stage of the project.

Conduct follow-up (if possible): If resources are available, carry out follow-up surveys or interviews with the supported actors to understand how the support has impacted their ability to promote climate resilient development and improved ecosystems and/or biodiversity.

How to report

Reporting to Head Office is done annually. Report the total number of civil society, public, or private actors that received support from Helvetas to strengthen climate and disaster resilience without double counting.


Each organisation is counted as one, do not count the number of members. If an organisation has several "divisions" and the support provided to these divisions are clearly separate, e.g. they contribute to different outcomes, then each division can be counted as one.

If an actor participates in multiple activities, they should only be counted once within one calendar year. If an actor received support in a previous calendar year and is receiving support in the current year, they should not be counted in both years. Only new actors should be reported every year 

This indicator does not include:

  • Service providers, such as trainers or consultants

  • Consortium partners, with whom we implement projects jointly

  • Third-party collaborators

Note that CDR 1.3.5 and FAN 1.2.3 are related but mutually exclusive, this means that a civil society, public or private actor should only be reported in one of the two indicators. Select the one that is most relevant based on project objectives and working field categorization.
