| Indicator Definition | Initiatives: An initiative in advocacy or policy dialogue refers to a systematic, mid- to long-term effort aimed at achieving a specific change, such as a legislative or regulatory shift, or the establishment of new institutions, programs or services. It typically involves a combination of activities, events, and efforts by one or more organizations working together. An initiative can be driven by a single entity or through collaborations in networks or alliances. Helvetas, for example, may support or co-lead such initiatives by facilitating, funding, or offering strategic support, but not through one-off events or actions. Enhance: Improve the effectiveness, inclusiveness, transparency, accountability, and/or equity of policies, spaces, and services to prevent or reduce conflicts and promote social cohesion. |
