World Vision thinking on outcomes and indicators
Douglas R Brown

2. Resilience and Livelihoods Target
Increase in the ability of parents and caregivers to sustainably provide for their children
Thriving household livelihoods
Declining household poverty as measured by the Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI)
Increasing household Food Security as measured by the HHS, DDS and CSI
Adaptive household livelihoods
Increasing proportion of households engaged environmentally sustainable livelihood practices
Resilient household livelihoods
Increasing proportion of households have access to contingency resources they can rely on in a crisis
Thriving
Resilient
Adaptive
HHS == Household Hunger Scale
DDS == Dietary Diversity Score
CSI == Coping Strategy Index
NB: If any one of the legs is “short” the stool cannot function as a stool

3. Proposed
Standard Outcome Indicators + Optional and Intermediate Outcome Indicators
R&L Target Standard Outcome Indicators (every 5 years)
Thriving household livelihoods or
Livelihoods enable progress out of poverty
Declining household poverty as measured by Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI)
Increasing household Food Security as measured by changes in the: Household Hunger Scale (HHS)
Dietary Diversity Score (DDS)
Coping Strategy Index (CSI)
Adaptive household livelihoods
Livelihoods are underpinned by sustainable practices
Increasing proportion of households engaged in livelihood strategies that use environmentally sustainable practices
Resilient household livelihoods
Livelihoods are increasingly reliable and resilient to shocks and stresses
Increasing proportion of households have access to contingency resources they can rely on in a crisis
R&L Target Highly Recommended, Optional Outcome Indicators (to be piloted for eventual use)
Empowerment
Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) measures the trend and relative change in empowerment of men and women over time
Youth livelihoods
Percentage of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET)
Intermediate Outcome Indicators (annually)
Food Security Module
Household Hunger Scale (HHS)
Dietary Diversity Score (DDS)
Food Consumption Score (FCS)
Coping Strategy Index (CSI)
Months of Hunger Season
Parents or caregivers provide well for their children
Proportion of parents or caregivers able to provide well for their children
Savings Groups
Proportion HHs with a member participating in an active Savings Group
Income sources
Income & income diversity
DRR
NB: The 3 standard high level outcome indicators are intended to be measured as a package at baseline and evaluation – in other words about every 5 years in the context of an ADP.
