1. Group Work on Indicators Objective: To develop a list of priority indicators (both results and process) for each intervention point for further refinement

2. Step One For your outcomes and outputs, ask how one might measure progress? Consider both program-based measurment level: information from program sources (client records, service statistics, client and provider interviews, etc.) and Population based surveys (DHS, etc.)

3. Group Work on indicators Develop a list of indicators and their data sources or means of verification (MOV) Determine in each case if the data exists (in service statistics, surveys programs records etc.) OR if it would be necessary to collect new data (interviews with staff, clients, focus groups, household surveys etc.)

4. Group work on indicators -Once you have listed indicators and MOV, Prioritize the indicators by importance and ease of obtaining data Give high priority to those that are important AND can be (relatively) easily measured Give lower priority to those that are judged to be less important AND difficult to measure Discuss the advantages and disadvantages as well as the practicality of the remaining indicators

5. Matrix for prioritization EASYFEASIBLE REQUIRES EFFORT DIFFICULT HIGH IMPORTA NCE HIGH PRIORITY WORTH COLLECTING IF POSSIBLE LOW IMPORTA NCE WORTH COLLECTING ONLY IF PART OF INSTRUMENT FOR IMPORTANT INDICATOR WORTH COLLECTING ONLY IF NECESSARY FOR IMPORTANT INDICATOR LOW PRIORITY
