Equity of Access Indicator Guidance
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to USAID missions, other donors, and implementing organizations operating in crisis and conflict-affected environments for the development of project indicators and metrics to measure equity of access to educational opportunities. Although this document uses terminology that is current within the framework of collaboration between USAID missions and their implementing partners (IPs), the overall guidance for indicator development should be broadly relevant and applicable among other agencies, donors and organizations.
Interventions in the workbook are broadly categorized into the four sortable and filterable worksheets. A first categorization is made between 1) interventions directed at formal schools (and the students and families they serve) and 2) programs that provide “non-formal” alternatives to formal schools. However, this categorization is not intended to be rigid; several of the interventions that are listed in the formal school tabs (those marked with an asterisk) are in fact pedagogical innovations that have featured prominently in non-formal, alternative programs. Interventions in the formal school category are broadly subdivided further into tabs for service delivery (or supply-side) interventions, community participation/empowerment interventions, and demand side interventions.
