Determine the indicator's value by using the following methodology:
1) Make a list of the technologies the intervention promotes.
2) For each technology, specify what exactly it means to “actively use it” – how it should be used, how often, for how long, for what purposes, etc. For example, the active use of a mobile phone application in an agricultural market production could require that an account has been established in the producer’s/enterprise’s name, that it is used at least once per agricultural season, and that it has been used for more than one season for the purpose of accessing market information or buyer contacts.
3) Collect the required information by asking a representative sample of the target group members (e.g. veterinarians; or household representatives) whether they a) have used the technology and b) have used it for the minimum required time. If the reply is YES, ask additional (pre-prepared) questions that will help you determine whether the technology is used in line with the key criteria defined in the previous step. If possible, verify the answers by conducting observations. Repeat this process for all the assessed methodologies.
4) Count the number of respondents who “actively use” the minimum number of technologies, as defined by your indicator.
5) To calculate the indicator’s value, divide the number of respondents who “actively use” the minimum number of technologies by the total number of respondents. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
