Usage Guidance
-
The metric is intended to capture the number of individuals that received one-on-one technical assistance provided by the organization. Technical assistance may or may not be restricted to clients of the organization. This metric may be applicable for organizations operating in the microfinance, agriculture, or other categories that provide technical assistance to clients and other community members.
-
Examples of technical assistance, to footnote, could include: skills training, consulting services such as process implementation, staffing, etc.
-
Technical assistance may be fee-based or provided for free.
-
This metric may help describe the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see specific guidance document. No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
