ARIs allow to assess outcomes and outputs achieved with SDC support, which contribute to the 10 Effectiveness goals in conjunction to the Swiss thematic priorities defined in the Dispatch 2017 – 2020. They should be collected with little additional effort and be relatively easily quantifiable. They represent a selected and limited part of SDC’s results and supplement other existing indicators. ARIs provide a link between the Dispatch 2017-2020 and the results to be achieved by partner countries and SDC programmes. The latter results are a mix of both quantitative and qualitative outcomes. They are situation-specific and capture the effects of our interventions, resulting in changes of peoples’ lives and partner institutions.
