"This note offers a brief and non-technical introduction to indicators and monitoring tools relevant to communication for development in Danida’s countries of cooperation. It is primarily aimed at supporting staff at Danish representations or at HQ responsible for preparing and managing Danish bilateral development assistance. The note may also be of assistance to those in the partner organisations of Danish aid who are responsible for monitoring, their Danida advisers, and consultants who assist in preparing and managing programmes and projects. [...] This note contains a background chapter on the strategic framework and types of Danish support for communication and development (Chapter 2), followed by a presentation of internationally defined goals, indicators and targets (Chapter 3). Subsequently, Chapter 4 addresses the issue of objectives and indicators at the national level, i.e. in PRSPs. Finally, Chapters 5, 6 and 7 are concerned with the level of the sector itself and the Danish support for it (SPS - sector programme support), discussing relevant indicators and related monitoring tools and methods at this level."
