INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET
INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
Relevant indicator (refer to indicators listed in Guidelines) / Number of females in the affected persons consulted before designing a programme
* Indicator adapted from the OCHA Humanitarian Indicator Registry on Accountability to Affected Populations
Indicator definition / # females in the affected persons that have been consulted to influence decisions made on the design of programmes
This indicator measures the means that a selected segment(s) of the affected population have a direct influence on decision making. in the design of sector/cluster programmes. The involvement of women, in particular during or after a crisis, may reduce GBV by ensuring that women are not greater risk of GBV. If women in the country are culturally precluded from participating as decision-makers, then women will likely be limited in their involvement in the design of programmes. As such, it is particularly important to provide contextualized information regarding the data collected.
Disaggregated by / Sex Age Disability Other vulnerabilities ______
The indicator should be disaggregated by sex, age, disability and other vulnerability factors.
Stage of the programme / Baseline Output Outcome
INDICATOR ACQUISITION
Responsible individual/office / Programme staff, community leaders or groups
Data source / Report from focus group discussions or meetings
Frequency and timing / Data should be collected before programmes are initiated
Budget implications / Minimal if integrated in existing tools
Data collection methods / Review of meeting records or methodology from assessments

DATA QUALITY ISSUES
Data quality assessment procedures / Verify the participation and number of females participating in programme design through multiple data sources
Important limitations & actions / The indicator relies on observation may be limited by the subjectivity of the data collector.
DATA ANALYSIS & REPORTING/DISSEMINATION
Data analysis plan / Interpret the findings using a ‘GBV lens’. In your context, what are the implications of having a certain number of females participating in the design of programmes. Interpret how this may affect the GBV prevention and response.
Dissemination plan for:
-Assessment/Planning
-Resource Mobilization
-Implementation
-Coordination / Develop a plan for how the results from this indicator will affect the activities across the programme cycle.
Baseline value (if available) / Determine a baseline value for your context.
Target (determine in the field or refer to Guidelines) / Determine a baseline value for your context.
