Champions Leading Support Groups

The indicator measures the number of “survivor champions” that have in the course of the project lead a minimum number of sessions with other survivors of violence. Survivor champions are people who experienced violence, overcame its consequences and started helping other people who had a similar experience.

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

1) Define how many times a survivor champion needs to lead a support group in order to be considered as “actively leading” the group.

2) Collect the required data using one of the following approaches:

Using existing documentation: If there is documentation showing how many sessions were led by each survivor champion (e.g. attendance sheets, project’s M&E data), use it to count how many champions lead a group for at least the number of times defined in point 1 above.

Using representative survey: If there is no relevant documentation, conduct interviews with a representative sample of champions, asking them 1) whether and 2) how many times they led a support group in the course of the project.

3) The indicator’s value equals to the number of survivor champions who led a support group for the minimum number of times.

Disaggregate the data by location.
