2. WHAT DOES ERASMUS+ ASK OF US?
Applicants for Cooperative Partnerships will be required to describe each work package with an
indication of the specific objectives, targets and qualitative and quantitative performance indicators.
The indicators are intended to support the evaluation of the results achieved by the project.
WHAT ARE INDICATORS?
An indicator is a measurable factor or value used to evaluate the quality of the project results and,
therefore, the level of achievement of the objectives. An indicator can be quantitative or qualitative:
- Quantitative: defines information that can be measured about quantities, facts, and that can be
mathematically verified;
-Qualitative: describes events, reasons, causes, effects, experiences, etc. Qualitative indicators can be
transformed into quantitative ones through scoring systems.
indicators complement each other: in addition to quantities and facts, it is important to measure
qualitative elements, so that the evaluation of the level of achievement of objectives is not purely
mechanical.
3. BASIC AND DERIVATIVE INDICATORS
There are two main types of indicators:
• Basic indicators: provide basic information on which other indicators can be based.
• Example: Number of interns, number of participants in a meeting, number of visits to a website, etc.
• Derived indicators: based on the calculation of the relationship between two elementary indicators.
• Example: Number of students who passed a test, conference participants who presented an
academic article, visitors to a website who downloaded a document, etc.
How many indicators should the project include?
There should be enough indicators to cover all major project outcomes, but not too many so that
measuring the indicators does not require more effort than the actual project activities.
4. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDICATOR AND GOAL
An indicator is the measurement of a value at any moment in time. A goal is the value that the
indicator is expected to reach when the action is completed.
Example:
- Goal: 1,000 website visits in December 2020
- Indicator: 500 visits in July; 750 in October; 1,100 in December
5. RACER INDICATORS
WHAT SHOULD OUR INDICATORS BE LIKE?
● SMART: SPECIFIC / MEASURABLE / ACHIEVABLE / RELEVANT (REALISTIC) / TEMPORARY

6. INDICATORS ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
-UNDP
Following the previous criteria, the Evaluation Office of the United Nations Development
Program (UNDP) developed a scheme for the selection of indicators.
The UNDP establishes the following criteria:
(A) The meaning of the indicator is clear,
(B) Information is available or can be easily collected,
(C) The indicator is tangible and can be observed,
(D) the task of collecting data is within the scope of the project management and does not
require experts for analysis,
(E) The indicator is sufficiently representative for the set of expected results.
7. MEANS AND SOURCES OF VERIFICATION
Verification Sources are those resources through which we can demonstrate that the results
have been obtained for the selected parameters. They are the sources of data and information
necessary to validate the indicators.
The Verification Sources specify, for each indicator, where the necessary data is obtained to
verify compliance with the objectives, the results and to monitor the assumptions.
MML defines 5 aspects that include verification sources, but also
● collection method,
● the responsible actors,
● analysis method and
● the frequency ,
It can also include how the information will be applied, dissemination and circulation formats.
8. LEVELS OF OBJECTIVES AND INDICATORS IN MML
THE MML defines the indicators for each objective and for each of the levels:
● End indicators : With them we identify the change or impact generated by the project (its
contribution). They also show the need to have additional components or products.
● Purpose indicators : As with the purpose indicators, the purpose indicators show the impact
of the project. But these differ in that they are a direct effect on the situation or population
of the project.
● Component indicators : These are descriptions of the goods or services ( project results ) in
terms of quality, quantity and time.
● Activity indicators : They are the monitoring of activities in terms of resources, times, costs,
budget, compliance or personnel. They demonstrate the management and effort for
construction and delivery of goods and services.

9. INDICATORS
Different classifications of Indicators:
● Input Indicators: These indicators refer to the resources and human resources necessary to carry
out the project activities: Budget, personnel, equipment, materials, among others.
● Process Indicators: These indicators focus on the quality and efficiency of project implementation.
They evaluate how planned activities and processes are being carried out.
● Results and Achievement Indicators: These indicators measure the specific achievements or
changes that are expected to be achieved as a result of the implementation of the project.
● Impact Indicators: These indicators measure the long-term change and broader effects of the
project in the community or context in which it is carried out.
● Contextual Indicators: These indicators provide information about the environment and
conditions under which the project is implemented.
● Sustainability Indicators: These indicators evaluate the project's ability to maintain its results in
the long term.
● Gender and Equity Indicators: These indicators are used to evaluate the impact of the project on
gender and equity issues, ensuring that the project does not have negative effects and promoting
gender equality.
10. EXAMPLES OF QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS
● Enrollments in online learning course activities
● Downloads on the project website
● Unique visitors to websites
● Visits to the project blog and downloaded documents
● Public and private entities with which project results are shared
● Stakeholders and multipliers reached through partner networking activities
● Manuals in different languages
● Development of certificates and their use in participating countries
● Modified or created internal rules or procedures that have been established in each country for companies or
educational institutions
● Earned open source digital credentials and use of other digital tools
● Questionnaires distributed and number of respondents
● Students who believe that their skills (e.g. computer skills) have increased significantly
● Students who consider that their intercultural values have been promoted in a significant way
● Students who consider that their active participation in youth voting has been significantly encouraged
11. EXAMPLES QUALITATIVE INDICATORS
● Participant satisfaction in training activities
● Participant satisfaction with the educational materials provided and the invited speakers
● Improving the capacity of partners to teach intercultural competencies
● Quality and extent of evaluation of participants' reports
● Partner involvement in project activities through lead partners and quality of results
● Teachers with improved skills in designing curriculum, employing a broader range of classroom strategies,
collecting evidence from observations of teaching
● Level of organizational knowledge in the field of training youth workers and developing learning applications
● Positive evaluations from groups of end users and experts as well as participants in the testing phase of the
project.
● Best practices and stories developed and disseminated by participants
● Social sensitivity and desire to participate in change
● Evaluation by comparing the results obtained with the original situation at the beginning of the project activities
● Student feedback and direct observation in the classroom and virtually will show visible progress and
achievement of planned goals and objectives will be recorded.
