USAID BUREAU FOR HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE
EMERGENCY APPLICATION GUIDELINES
ANNEX B: INDICATOR LIST
INTRODUCTION
USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) has developed
the following list of
indicators to measure performance of its emergency response
activities (including early
recovery and disaster risk reduction). BHA developed the
consolidated list of indicators
for the BHA Emergency Application Guidelines primarily from
emergency indicators used
by the former Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA)
and Office of Food for
Peace (FFP), however, there are several new indicators in this
list.
The list includes 199 indicators from 16 sectors and 57
subsectors as well as keywords.
Each indicator is listed as “Required”, “Required- Select 2”,
“Required- Select 3”,
“Required if Applicable (RiA)”, or “Optional”. You must select
"required" indicators within
a sector or subsector if you propose any interventions from the
subsector and you must
select the specified number from the list within the subsector.
You must select 2 or 3
from the list of proposed indicators that are labeled “Required-
Select 2” or Required-
Select 3”. You must use the "required if applicable" indicators
if you propose specific
interventions and optional indicators are up to your discretion.
Some sectors or
subsectors require you to develop custom indicators; when using
the custom indicator, it
should be designated “C” and a number. For example, if you
propose three custom
indicators, they should be numbered as “C1, C2, and C3”,
respectively.
The indicators you propose should measure activity performance
within the award time
frame. The BHA Guidelines require you to identify and propose
indicators for each level
of results presented in the Indicator Tracking Table (ITT). The
purpose indicator(s) will
measure the highest result that the activity seeks to achieve;
the sub-purpose indicator(s)
will measure the result(s) of one component of the activity;
intermediate indicators will
measure practice changes; and output indicators will measure the
immediate product of
the intervention. You must select indicators that correspond to
the appropriate level
within the ITT based on the specific activity design.
Reference the BHA Indicator Handbook for the Performance
Indicator Reference Sheets
(PIRS) for each indicator listed. Additional guidance can be
found in BHA Emergency M&E
Policy and Guidance.
