Indicator Phrasing

English: number of communities where key barriers to participation faced by specific groups were assessed in a participatory manner

French: nombre de communautés dans lesquelles les principaux obstacles à la participation de groupes spécifiques ont été évalués de manière participative

Spanish: número de comunidades en las que se han evaluado de forma participativa los principales obstáculos a la participación a los que se enfrentan grupos específicos

Portuguese: número de comunidades onde os principais obstáculos à participação enfrentados por grupos específicos foram avaliados de uma forma participativa

Czech: počet komunit, v nichž byly participativním způsobem posouzeny možné překážky účasti v projektových aktivitách

What is its purpose?

This indicator is designed for projects working in various geographic communities – e.g. villages or parts of urban areas. It measures in how many of such communities, the project tried to understand the barriers preventing specific groups of people (e.g. elderly or displaced) from participating in its activities.

How to Collect and Analyse the Required Data

Determine the indicator's value by using the following methodology:

 

1) Define what can be considered as “barriers to the participation faced by specific groups were assessed in a participatory manner” - i.e. what the minimum requirements for such a ‘participatory assessment’ are.

 

2) Define what can be considered a ‘community’. In the context of this indicator, it has a geographic meaning – in rural settings, it can be a village; in the urban context, you might need to use smaller units, such as quarters.

 

3) Review available resources (e.g. assessment data, MEAL reports) and interview relevant staff to identify the total number of communities where such barriers were assessed (in any manner). Determine in how many of these communities the barriers were assessed in line with the minimum requirements defined in point 1. The resulting number is the value of this indicator.

   

Disaggregate by

Disaggregate the data by which groups were consulted (e.g. youth / elderly / displaced people), where they were consulted (e.g. districts or regions), and other criteria relevant to the focus of your intervention.  

Important Comments

1) When reporting on the indicator’s value, report the total number of targeted communities. This will give a better understanding of the actual scope of engaging people.

 

2) In addition to reporting on the number of communities, report on the number of people from specific groups engaged in identifying (potential) barriers. It is recommended to report on 1) the total number and 2) the number in each participating community.
