UNIT OF MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS | Number of schools |
DEFINITION | This indicator intends to count the number of schools where any type of infrastructure rehabilitation or construction has taken place through WFP’s funding. Below are some key terminologies for this indicator: Infrastructure directly related to school feedings such as classrooms, break rooms, food storerooms, gardens, kitchens, and potentially refectories or eating areas. Complementing such infrastructure could be storage pallets, shelves, and balances; easily washable plates, cups and cutlery/spoons; hygienic cooking pots and utensils; and not least improved stoves that save fuel and make sure that cooking smoke can exit the kitchen area. Auxiliary infrastructure would focus on access to safe drinking water to be used in school feeding. Not least, other infrastructure would first and foremost concern the provision of sufficient good quality and healthy sanitation. Keynote: Monitoring and reporting on the delivery of those infrastructure should be a straight-forward exercise meaning it should focus on comparing programme plans with actual outputs delivered during the reporting period. Any significant shortfalls or changes should be complemented by a narrative explanation. |
RATIONALE | The nutrition of school-children is not only determined by their food consumption, but also by the avoidance of infections, diarrhea diseases, parasites, etc. A strong, direct form of supporting school-children’s learning, health and nutrition lies in providing a school environment that is safe, encourages learning, avoids the most important forms of infection and allows health-seeking behavior. Not least, such infrastructure can also help children to form healthy habits, which they can bring home to their households, maintain and pass on to their own children after their schooling. It should be noted that WFP does not typically lead major rehabilitation efforts at the school level unless necessary and partners such as government or others are not able to engage in this work, WFP could still engage in minor work such as provision of benches and/or other minor works. |
DATA SOURCE | Data on this indicator is collected from activity implementation records. Data is triangulated with process monitoring reports. |
INDICATOR CALCULATION FOR REPORTING | This indicator is calculated through a simple count of the number of schools with infrastructure rehabilitated or constructed. This indicator does not capture the number of structures rehabilitated or constructed in each school. |
DATA ENTRY AND DISAGGREGATION IN CORPORATE SYSTEMS | The output indicator consists of one detailed indicator with further details that require reporting on them to capture further disaggregation:
Actuals are reported in the COMET system through the completion report/s, under the section for actual data (implementation module). In addition to this, values for the detailed indicator can be collected in COMET by:
N.B. Planned/Actual values cannot be aggregated across different locations and/or activity tags. |
PLANNED FIGURES | The planned value for this indicator is context specific. Planned values for the reporting year are set annually the detailed indicator, along with the other years of the CSP/ICSP. These values should be planned in the COMET Other Output Plan (OOP) and must be established during the first quarter of the first year of CSP/ICSP implementation. Additionally, planned values are captured in the partnership and/or field‑level agreements, with a focus on the reporting year. For subsequent years of the CSP/ICSP, planned values can either be marked as ‘no data’ or, if initially planned, should be reviewed and updated during the first quarter of the current reporting year. |
FREQUENCY OF DATA COLLECTION | This actual values of this indicator should be collected and reported on a monthly basis. The data should be triangulated and verified against other sources (i.e. process monitoring) before entering and validating COMET completion reports. |
INTERPRETATION | When interpreting results, always refer to planned versus actual values and explain any differences (surplus, target met, or shortfall). The better the infrastructure is in schools where the programme is implemented, the better the environment is for schoolchildren to learn, which is another incentive for children to attend schools and to stay healthy and learn effectively. The indicator provides number of schools for which WFP performed some rehabilitation work. Interpretation should provide rationale for WFP engagement and level of investments (include dollar value) of this type of work and why this was identified as priority for WFP. Interpretation should also provide scope of infrastructure work and whether it was performed in the number of schools or all WFP schools. |
REPORTING EXAMPLE(S) | Each Country Office could use a simple internal tracking sheet to record the number of schools with rehabilitated structures under each detailed indicator. N.B: Please note a unique number of each of detailed indicator will be recorded against each detailed indicator. |
INDICATORS COLLECTED & ANALYSED AT THE SAME TIME | The following indicators may be reported along with this indicator:
|
VISUALIZATION | N/A |
LIMITATIONS | As the indicator provides a simple count on the number of schools for which rehabilitation investments are made, it does not provide information on whether the infrastructure is being used or is having an impact on the schoolchildren’s well-being. |
