Indicator Definition
| Indicator Name | CTR 3.2.1 Number of people capacitated to prevent and/or reduce conflict in their localities |
|---|---|
| Indicator Definition | Capacitated people: People who have received training, support, or resources to enhance their ability to prevent and reduce conflict in their localities. This includes trainings, events or project activities that stimulate participants to think and reflect about peace and conflict including societal problems and challenges, which are related to deep-seated mistrust, lack of communication, violence and grievances between political, ethnic, religious or other identity groups. Only primary stakeholders are counted (stakeholders that have participated in any project implemented by Helvetas or any partner or SCO supported by Helvetas). People: It is important to note that, in VIC projects, "people" refers to all individuals within the target area, with particular emphasis on women, underserved, vulnerable, and marginalized groups, as well as those in the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) categories. This includes migrants, such as forcibly displaced persons, refugees, and internally displaced individuals, ensuring that those who are often excluded or face barriers to participation are prioritized in governance initiatives. Note: As this is an output indicator, the individual does not need to have actively participated in or influenced conflict prevention or resolution efforts but must have been capacitated to do so. This means that individuals should have received the necessary training, knowledge, or skills to prevent or reduce conflict, even if they have not yet applied those skills. The actual contribution to conflict prevention, public service provision, or decision-making can be measured and reported using the outcome indicator VIC 3.5 Number of people that take action to prevent and/or reduce and/or solve conflicts and/or reduce violence. |

Data Collection
| Data Source and Means of Verification | Primary data source: Project documents/ Records from partner organizations or service providers (training attendance lists, workshop reports, counselling session records) |
|---|---|
| Measuring Frecuency | Data should be collected continuously throughout the project, whenever activities are completed. |
| Data Collection Guidance | Collect data through participant registration forms, attendance lists, and feedback forms during each capacity-building activity. |
How to report
Aggregate the total number of individuals who completed training without double counting.
Disaggregate the data by required categories.
Report the data annually or at the end of the project
Avoiding Double-Counting:
Within the same year: If a person participates in multiple training sessions within the same year or across multiple years, they should only be counted once. To prevent double-counting, include a question in the registration form asking if the participant has already attended any previous training offered by the project during that year.
