Papers Published and Disseminated

This indicator measures how active an advocacy campaign was in preparing and disseminating papers relating to the advocacy efforts, such as position papers, policy briefs, case studies, distilled data analyses, and research.

Determine the indicator's value by using the following methodology:

1) Define what counts as a “paper”. It should include documents such as position papers, policy briefs, case studies, distilled data analyses, research findings, and other relevant documents.

2) Define what counts as “disseminated to key stakeholders”. Consider agreeing internally on some minimum requirements for adequate dissemination. For example, which channels need to be used, how many people should be reached, etc.

3) Use key informant interviews and reviews of relevant resources (e.g. reports) to count the number of papers published and disseminated to key stakeholders.

1) Complement the indicator’s value with more qualitative information on, for example, the topics of the papers, who was reached, what effect the dissemination had, etc.
