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, whenever significant activities are completed.

Data Collection Guidance

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

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 basic education 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
