DESCRIPTION:

This is a multipurpose note. It can be used as a supplementary training material for the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) training programs of ASP-LUMS, SEDC and other clients in conjunction with Logical Framework Analysis (LFA)/ Results Based Monitoring (RBM) framework development. The note is motivated by the idea that, data on outcomes and goal indicators in the Results Chain (Figure 1) is readily available from secondary sources. Knowledge about these secondary sources of data can save both the monetary cost of collecting the data that already exists, as well as, time spent in reinventing some of the indicators. This note, in particular, presents detailed information on secondary sources of data on poverty and labour indicators.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Realisation that poverty is a multidimensional concept; it can be looked at in many dimensions. Some of these dimensions are quantifiable and some are not. The quantifiable dimensions can be explored with the help of several indicators.
