Indicators - From project-level to strategic reporting in humanitarian and development settings

How can we ensure that the data collected at the project level effectively informs strategic decisions at the headquarters? A common challenge for many organizations is the disconnect between field-level activities and high-level strategic objectives.

In this Webinar, we will explore the complete journey of an indicator, from its inception in a project's logical framework to its aggregation and use in strategic reporting.

We will examine practical approaches for aligning indicators across all levels of an organization to create a cohesive and powerful M&E system and we'll discuss common challenges, proven solutions.

In summary, we’ll cover:

  • The crucial role of Indicators: The strategic importance of a coherent indicator framework

Understanding the Indicator landscape:

  • Defining different types of indicators (e.g., input, output, outcome, impact)
  • Mapping indicators across levels: project, program, country, organizational, and strategic (HQ)

Common challenges in Indicator management:

  • Inconsistent definitions
  • Aggregation difficulties
  • The 'indicator overload' phenomenon.
