In a manner similar to adding a result level, to add a new result within a level, click the "Add" button and choose "Result." Input the result name, provide an optional description, assign the result to a specific level (e.g., Impact, Outcome, Output), and add any optional assumptions about the result.

Indicator

In Reframe Monitor, you have the option to choose from three types of indicators:

Numeric Indicator:

Numeric indicators are chosen when there is a need to assess progress by measuring numerical values over time. This type is appropriate for tracking and quantifying changes in absolute quantities or counts. Depending on your data availability this indicator can be stored in two data formats:

  • Latest change (since last reporting): Here data entries are totaled cumulatively over time. This option is suitable when you need to track incremental chnages and continously add to the existing total

  • Total value (since project start): Here each data entry for this indicator is the current total. This option is ideal when each entry directly reflects the comprehensive, up-to-date value without any need for additional summation.

Percentage Indicator:

Percentage indicators are selected when the focus is on measuring progress in terms of percentages over time. This type is suitable for evaluating relative changes or proportions within a given context.

Process Indicator:

Process indicators are preferred when measuring activities, steps, or processes essential for implementing an activity. This type is particularly useful for assessing the progression through sequential stages required for successful implementation of a process.

To include an indicator in a result, click on "Add" and then choose "Indicator." A dialog will open, leading you through the step-by-step creation of the indicator.

Step 1: General

[Screenshot]

  • Select the result to which you want to assign this indicator.

  • Input the full name of the indicator.

  • Provide an indicator abbreviation, serving as a reference code, often related to its result, such as OI1 for output indicator 1.

  • Choose the indicator type.

  • Enter the definitions and sources of your indicator.

  • For reminder management, specify the frequency for sending reminders to add data to your indicator.

  • Assign a responsible person for this indicator.

Step 2: Baseline, Target and Disaggregations

Info

Only for numeric and percentage indicators

  • Specify the unit of measure, representing the specific quantity used to express the output of the indicator.

  • Enter the baseline and target for this indicator

  • If your indicator requires disaggregation, click on "Add Disaggregation." A menu will appear with common disaggregations already available by default.

    • Once a disaggregation is selected, enter the baseline and target values. Ensure that the baseline and target values for the disaggregation sum up to the overall values entered in the total above.

Managing disaggregations

  • If one of the default disaggregations does not completely suit your needs, you can modify it without creating an entirely new one from scratch. Simply alter the name of the dimension or categories, or add and delete as necessary. Note that changing a default disaggregation creates a copy.

  • If the required disaggregation for your indicator is not available by default, click on the "Create" button to customize one to meet the indicator's requirements.

    • Enter the name of the dimension covered by this disaggregation, along with the categories you need to report on (e.g., country with the categories Ghana, Senegal, and Tanzania).

  • If you use a disaggregation in multiple indicators and want to change it for all indicators, you can do so in the settings. Navigate to the disaggregations tab and modify any disaggregation as needed.

Step 3: Milestones

In the final step, you have the opportunity to define individual milestones for your indicator. The system generates milestones automatically based on the project information you entered (start and end date) and the reporting frequency. You can add or delete any milestone besides the baseline and target if needed.

For the process indicator, this step is mandatory, and you are required to create process milestones that should be achieved throughout your project. The system will offer some example milestones to guide you through this process.

Managing your reporting periods

To manage reporting periods for a logframe, navigate to the logframe you wish to modify. In the second tab labeled "Reporting Periods," you'll find a list containing all reporting periods created based on your input during logframe creation. Click on any reporting period to modify it.

  • If necessary, assign a specific name to the reporting period, such as "2024" or "Reporting Period 1."

  • Specifiy the start and end date of a reporting period.

  • Choose a status for the reporting period:

    • New: Indicates a reporting period that has not yet started.

    • Open: Represents a reporting period that is currently ongoing.

    • Closed: Designates a reporting period that has concluded.

Info

Please note that data entry is only permitted for reporting periods marked as "Open."
