To develop quantitative benchmark metrics for the designated Partnership Harmonized Indicators (Phis), the role involves gathering and evaluating primary data through mutually agreed qualitative research methodologies, while also deriving qualitative conclusions regarding the operational dynamics of the RA-PURE ecosystem in Kenya.
Review, validate, and refine preliminary PHI values, when required, by cross-referencing them with field-generated evidence obtained through Key Informant Interviews (Kids) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), updating the values as needed to ensure accurate representation of Kenya’s broader ago-energy ecosystem.
Provide a narrative analysis for each indicator value and interpretation, explaining its significance, context and relevance to the programme objectives. For example, where an indicator captures the number of knowledge products, the analysis should specify what those products are, who are the authors, include references or copies obtained from the organisations engaged by the consultant, and provide links to those that are publicly available or formally published, where applicable
The Partnership Harmonised Indicators are quantitative indicators that have been developed based on the Partnership’s system signals. These system signals (also known as ‘signals of change’) are qualitative indicators that track whether the Partnership is moving the needle and starting to observe changes in the system.
