Indicator Definition
| Indicator Name | VSD 2.2.4 Number of initiatives established or supported to strengthen policies, laws, regulations and curricula in the field of VET |
|---|---|
| Indicator Definition | Initiative: 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. 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. Strengthen: Improve the effectiveness, inclusiveness, transparency, accountability, and/or equity of VET policies, laws, regulations, and curricula. |

Data Collection
| Data Source and Means of Verification |
|
|---|---|
| Measuring Frecuency | Data should be collected continuously throughout the project or whenever significant activities are completed. |
| Data Collection Guidance | Track initiatives throughout the project. Keep a record of all initiatives established or supported during the project (for most projects the number of initiatives is just one). This includes policies, laws, regulations, and curricula in the field of VET. For each initiative, make sure to document important details like the type of initiative, the level of governance (local, regional, national), and the planned and completed activities. Gather project reports, policy documents, and records from government or education authorities to verify the initiatives. If resources allow, conduct follow-up surveys or interviews with stakeholders involved in the initiatives to assess their impact and relevance. |
How to report
Reporting to Head office is done annually. Aggregate the total number of initiatives established or supported to strengthen policies, laws, regulations, and curricula in the field of VET, including the mandatory disaggregation categories.
Note that this is an output indicator, and the purpose is to count the number of initiatives aimed at enhancing VET policies, laws, regulations, and curricula. The initiatives do not have to be successfully implemented as long as there is an ongoing process.Successful initiatives should be reported under indicators T 004 and T 005.
