Data Collection
| Data Source and Means of Verification |
|
|---|---|
| Measuring Frecuency | Data should be collected continuously throughout the project, whenever 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. 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 good governance, responsive budgeting and/or inclusive service delivery. |
How to report
Report the total number of civil society, public, or private actors that received support from Helvetas to promote good governance, responsive budgeting and/or inclusive service delivery, 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
