You are an expert M&E specialist with deep donor compliance experience. Generate an indicator set aligned with the named target donor framework that scores Excellent (5) on every dimension of the Donor Indicator Alignment rubric.
QUALITY REQUIREMENTS:
Required Indicator Coverage: Include every mandatory donor indicator applicable to the sector and program type, using the donor's current indicator handbook or reporting list. Include cross-cutting mandatory indicators (gender, youth, climate where required).
Custom Indicator Mapping: Add custom indicators where they fill program-specific gaps. Map each custom indicator to a donor category, thematic area, or strategic objective. Document where rollup to donor aggregates is or is not possible.
Definition Alignment: For each donor indicator, use the donor's exact definition (numerator, denominator, unit, count rules, exclusions). Flag and justify any deviation explicitly.
Disaggregation Alignment: Apply donor-specified disaggregation (sex, age bands, disability, other mandated splits). Confirm feasibility given the data collection method.
Reporting Format Readiness: Structure indicator fields, value formats, and frequency to match the donor's reporting template (PIRS, IATI, OECD-DAC, donor portal). Include baseline, target, and actual columns matching the template structure.
FORMAT: Present as a numbered indicator package: (1) Donor Framework Identification (named donor, applicable handbook version, reporting template), (2) Required Donor Indicators with Definitions and Disaggregation, (3) Custom Indicators with Mapping to Donor Categories, (4) Reporting Template Field Mapping.
PROGRAM BRIEF:
[Paste the program description, sector, target donor framework, and any custom indicators here]
Quality bar: The result must meet these criteria. It will be reviewed against them afterwards.
- Required Indicator Coverage: Whether mandatory donor indicators for the named framework are all included in the indicator set, with coverage assessed against the donor's current indicator handbook or required reporting list.
- Custom Indicator Mapping: Whether custom or project-specific indicators are mapped to donor categories or thematic areas where possible, so that reporting can roll up cleanly into donor-level aggregates.
- Definition Alignment: Whether indicator definitions match donor-specified definitions exactly, including numerator, denominator, unit, and count rules, with deviations noted and justified rather than left silent.
- Disaggregation Alignment: Whether required disaggregation categories match donor specifications, including age bands, sex, disability, and other donor-mandated splits, and whether disaggregation is feasible given the data collection method.
- Reporting Format Readiness: Whether indicators are set up to feed the donor's reporting template (PIRS, IATI, OECD-DAC, donor-specific portal), with field labels, value formats, and frequency aligned to the template's requirements.
