Tool 84: Indicators for Program Goals

In Section 5: Evaluation, you learned that identifying indicators is a critical step in assessing whether your program is meeting its goals. Choosing indicators that relate directly to your program's goals will ensure that you can measure your program's progress and can identify activities to help achieve these goals.

Directions: Use this tool to develop indicators for your goals. After you have agreed on goals, identify a set of indicators for each goal and answer the questions about each one. Then assign activities that lead to the eventual achievement of the goals. This order should be followed carefully. An example of a completed form is on the next page and a template that you can use is on the page that follows.
