Indicator Name VSD 2.2.3 Number of supported civil society, public or private actors strengthened to deliver relevant vocational skills development
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 organizations are all those organizations that have strengthened their capacities and/or are empowered through the project, either directly or through our partners. They are “institutional stakeholders” (part of the primary stakeholders) and actors important for the project to reach its goals. Consortium partners, service providers, and subcontractors are not included.

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 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 strengthen VSD trainings.

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 vocational skills developement 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
