Building Stronger Futures: Indicators for Climate and Children’s Well-being

Register Now

Introduction to the Course

As the impacts of climate change intensify, measuring progress in protecting and empowering children has become essential. Development and humanitarian programmes increasingly integrate climate adaptation and child protection objectives—yet many struggle with how to translate these goals into measurable indicators that reflect changes in children’s wellbeing, resilience, and adaptive capacity.

This training is designed to strengthen participants’ ability to develop, refine, and apply indicators that capture the multidimensional nature of climate impacts on children. It bridges the gap between policy commitments and practical measurement by introducing frameworks, tools, and examples from health, education, WASH, and social protection sectors.

Participants will learn how to select indicators that are SMART, child-sensitive, gender-responsive, and aligned with global standards such as the SDGs, Sendai Framework, UNFCCC Adaptation Goals, and national Climate Change and Child Protection strategies.

Training Coverage

The 2-day training is structured into two modules, combining conceptual learning, group work, and hands-on exercises using real case examples.

Day 1 – Foundations and Frameworks for Climate and Child-Centred Indicators

Key Topics:
– Understanding the role of indicators in monitoring climate adaptation and resilience for children
– Linking climate change and child wellbeing outcomes: impact pathways
– Review of global and national indicator frameworks (SDGs, Sendai, UNICEF, UNEP, national adaptation plans)
– Characteristics of effective indicators: SMART, disaggregated, and feasible
– Differentiating between input, output, outcome, and impact indicators
– Building indicator frameworks for key sectors:
  –Health: heat-related illness, nutrition, vector-borne disease surveillance
  –Education: continuity of learning, safe school readiness, disaster drills
  –WASH: water safety, service continuity, hygiene access under shocks
  –Social Protection: shock-responsive coverage, targeting vulnerable children
– Exercise: Mapping causal pathways from risk → result → indicator

Learning Activities:
Interactive presentation, group discussion, indicator-mapping exercise, case study review.

Day 2 – Designing and Validating Climate-Child Indicators

Key Topics:
– Setting baselines, targets, and data sources for child-sensitive indicators
– Integrating gender equality, disability inclusion, and child protection dimensions
– Tools for data collection and verification (household surveys, school audits, climate-risk monitoring systems)
– Measuring resilience: composite and proxy indicators (e.g., resilience scorecards, adaptive capacity indices)
– Ensuring data quality, reliability, and ethical data management
– Developing monitoring matrices and reporting templates
– Validation and alignment with donor logframes (UNICEF, Plan International, GCF, etc.)
– Group Exercise: Drafting an Indicator Framework for a Climate & Children Project

Learning Activities:
Group work, peer review of indicators, role-play on data validation, and plenary feedback session.

Expected Outcomes
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
– Understand the principles and importance of indicator development for climate and child-focused projects.
– Identify and classify appropriate indicators across input, output, outcome, and impact levels.
– Design gender- and child-sensitive indicators linked to global frameworks (SDGs, Sendai, UNFCCC).
– Develop a monitoring matrix and results framework for climate and child-resilience programmes.
– Apply quality assurance and data management practices for reliable reporting.
– Align project indicators with donor requirements and national climate adaptation priorities.

Training Outputs

– A draft Indicator Framework and Monitoring Matrix for participants’ respective projects.
– A sector-wise indicator menu (Health, Education, WASH, Social Protection).
– A short reference guide on child-sensitive climate change indicators.
– Individual action plans to improve existing project M&E systems.
