Lecture 04

Setting GSI indicators that mean something

Content

In the order a learner meets it. Each block is a separate thing to write, and their order is the lecture's argument.

  1. Block 1 · text

    Available is not the same as meaningful

    'Number of women attending' is easy to count and measures almost nothing about whether the plan changed anything for them. A meaningful indicator asks what changed - access, decision-making role, resource control - not who showed up.

  2. Block 2 · text

    Baseline first, always

    An indicator without a baseline can only ever report a number, never a change. Setting the baseline before an intervention starts is the single most commonly skipped step in GSI monitoring, and the one that makes every later report defensible.
