Indicator Definition
| Indicator Name | BAR 1.4.2 Number of people who benefitted from new or repaired bridges, access roads, ways or footpaths with established maintenance mechanisms that have been constructed by supported institutions |
|---|---|
| Indicator Definition | This indicator measures the number of people who have improved access to essential services such as markets, schools, and health centers due to new or rehabilitated infrastructure constructed by supported institutions. This includes infrastructures that are maintained by these institutions to ensure long-term access improvements. |

Examples of Actvities
Supporting institutions to construct or rehabilitate bridges, access roads, or footpaths.
Establishing or reinforcing maintenance mechanisms to ensure long-term infrastructure usability.
Capacity building and technical support to institutions responsible for infrastructure development.
Community mobilization and engagement to support infrastructure maintenance.
Coordination with local authorities to integrate constructed or rehabilitated infrastructure into broader transportation networks.
Data Collection
| Data Source and Means of Verification | Project records (e.g., construction reports, maintenance plans, community engagement documentation.
Population records from local governments or other official data sources (to calculate the estimated outreach).
Household surveys (about the quality and impact of the infrastructure) and traffic counts on the bridges and roads prior and after the intervention for humans, livestock, vehicles (2 wheelers, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers). |
|---|---|
| Measuring Frecuency | Annual, better though after an activity is carried out by supported insitutions |
| Data Collection Guidance | The number of people that have gained access to markets, schools and health centers due to the constructed/rehabilitated trail bridges, roads, or track should be calculated when the construction/rehabilitation activities are planned. All people living in the surrounding communities (within reasonable distance) should be counted, regardless whether they actually use the road (they have still gained access). The result can be registered once the activity has been completed. This is a best estimate based on population records limited by a geographical area, do not overstate the result. Household surveys and traffic count is used to assess the impact of road improvements on accessibility and socioeconomic activities, particularly in terms of access to markets, education, and healthcare services. This information will be used for outcome indicator WFC 1.13 as well as project impact evaluation or other assessments – but it is not a requirement for this indicator. |
| Common Challenges | Challenge: Disaggregation of age, gender, and left behind/vulnerable groups. Approach: Use population records and demographic data from local governments or community authorities to estimate disaggregated figures where direct data collection is not feasible. Alternatively, incorporate disaggregated questions into household surveys (baseline and/or endline) to capture gender, age, and vulnerable group data directly. Here it is very important that the sample is representative. |
How to report
Annual reporting: Report the total number of people who have gained access to markets, schools, and health centres due to the infrastructure improvements. These are all indirect beneficiaries.
Normally a project can count all villages that were connected by project activities and multiply the number of villages reached with the average village size of villages reached if the population is not known for each village.
