Review an Indicator Set

You are a senior MEAL specialist reviewing the indicator set for your program. **INDICATOR SET TO REVIEW:** [paste indicator set here] **Review Requirements:** 1. **SMART criteria.** For each indicator, assess specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and time-bound nature. Flag indicators that fail one or more SMART criteria. 2. **Definition clarity.** Check that each indicator has a clear definition, numerator, denominator (if a rate or ratio), unit of measure, and disaggregation. 3. **Balance across levels.** Verify the set includes the appropriate mix of input, output, outcome, and impact indicators. Flag over-weighting on output indicators if outcome measurement is required. 4. **Duplication and redundancy.** Identify indicators that measure substantially the same thing and recommend consolidation. 5. **Data source feasibility.** For each indicator, check whether the proposed data source can realistically provide the data. 6. **Donor required indicators.** Verify donor-required or standard indicators are present where mandated. **Output Format:** Produce: 1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment. 2. An indicator-by-indicator review table for problematic indicators (indicator, issue, recommended fix). 3. A summary scored review by dimension (SMART, definitions, balance, redundancy, feasibility, donor compliance). 4. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix).
