Indicators Are variables with particular characteristics or
dimensions used for measuring progress towards achievement of key result areas. Signposts to indicate movement towards a
higher level of development
CHARACTERISTICS
Relevant – measuring factors that affect the projects
Selective – adequate and meaningful Clear – precisely defined so that their
measurement and interpretation is unambiguous (more-or less – is unmistakably better)
Analysis & Interpretation
1. Computation per index using STATISTICA.2. Determination of the levels of development of the communities based on the following thresholds for overall rating. Communities are first classified into three modalities:
Satellite, Semi-Prime, & Prime Communities.
In each modality, thresholds are determined:
Level 1. Lower level of developmentLevel 2. Low-level of developmentLevel 3. Medium level of development
Level 4. High Medium Level of dev’t.Level 5. Higher Level of development
Issues in building the SRDRI:It entails a lot of groundwork at the country level as it needs key players.
We need adequate support to undertake advocacy-brainstorming sessions, forums, web-discussions, conduct trainings, research, workshops, and the application of knowledge and for its sharing to others. Establishing the index means evolving it based on consensus, and sustain it s relevance by incorporating those emerging issuesExamples, climate change and globalization.
