Example Support Network Results Chain

A.

  • Qualitative indicator: Network agrees on priorities (measure extent to which topics stay focused to the diagnosed priority or drift to other subjects – use for learning and adaptation)

  • Qualitative indicator: Network agrees to communication structure (measure extent to which members used the structure provided to them, improved upon or improvised the structure, or ignored it altogether – use for learning and adaptation)

B.

  • Indicator: #/% members who increase their score on a pre/post test

  • Indicator: #/% members who report feelings of increased knowledge *avoid this if you can test actual test knowledge *

  • Indicator: #/% members who report increased self-efficacy/confidence

C.

  • Indicator: #/% network members who share challenges, advice or support on group social media* disaggregating here might be helpful – a thread of all challenges is probably not as useful as one that has a mix of challenges and advice.*

  • Qualitative indicator: themes of content shared on group social media( measure the extent to which the tone of the conversation changes, becomes more productive, etc.*

  • Indicator: # of new members referred to the network who joining group social social media

  • Indicator: % of active network members *define the term as appropriate – weekly, monthly, etc. participation on social media channels, for example. This is relevant to know if your support network is just a small core of active members, or a broad group*

D.

  • Indicator: #/% of previously undecided network members who decide to run for office

  • Indicator: #/% network members who report applying advice learned from network members or IRI training *avoid this if you can test actual application*

  • Indicator: #/% network members who apply advice learned from network members or IRI training

  • Indicator: #/% of network members who could cite specific examples of advice or support that was useful and how it was used.

  • Indicator: #/% network members who report that peer support influenced their decision to run for office

E.

  • Indicator: Number of network members who are elected to office

  • Indicator: Number of network members who run for office

  • Indicator: Number of network members who support a fellow network member’s run for office

  • Indicator: Number of network members who say they will run for office in the future.

Example Coordination Network Results Chain

Building from the example coordination network results chain seen here, please see examples of quantitative indicators (as you might include in a performance management plan) and qualitative indicators (as you might include as evaluation points or markers of progress to look for in quarterly reporting).

A.

  • Qualitative indicator: Network agrees on priorities priority anticorruption topics (measure extent to which advocacy stays focused on priority topics or drifts to other subjects – use for learning and adaptation)

  • Qualitative indicator: Network agrees on priority institutions/actors/outlets to target with advocacy activities (measure extent to which advocacy stays focused on priority actors – use for learning and adaptation)

  • Qualitative indicator: Network agrees to structure (measure extent to which members used the structure provided to them, improved upon or improvised the structure, or ignored it altogether – use for learning and adaptation

B.

  • Indicator: # of new advocacy initiatives conducted by network members using member referrals or guidance

  • Indicator: # of new stakeholders engaged by network members using member referrals or guidance.

C.

  • Qualitative indicator: degree to which network uses consensus building guidance

D.

  • Indicator: # of advocacy activities

  • Indicator: #/% network members participating in advocacy activities

  • Qualitative indicator: Degree to which individual advocacy activities align with network priorities

  • Qualitative indicator: Degree to which individual advocacy activities align with network strategy

E.

  • Indicator: # of new advocacy initiatives conducted by network members using member referrals or guidance

F.

  • Indicator: # targeted institutions/actors/outlets reached by at least three complimentary network activities

  • Qualitative indicator: Degree to which advocacy activities are reaching most influential institutions/actors/outlets

G.

  • Indicator: # of targeted institutions/actors/outlets who release statements quoting network or citing its positions
