A guidance tool for countries to select indicators, and where possible seek standard definitions and applications of those indicators
The humanitarian indicator registry is complimentary to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC) reference module. The indicators listed in the registry have been developed by the global clusters. While recognising that indicators cannot be fully standardised across countries, given the vast range of emergencies and country contexts , it is recommend to adopt and use the indicators listed as ‘key’ to allow comparison of needs and response monitoring across countries.
