Determining C&I may also be an iterative process

Indicators need to be monitored, says Budi S Wardhana of @BRG_Indonesia.

There are still challenges along the way:

✔️Cost
✔️Time
✔️Ease of use
✔️Reliability
✔️Efficacy for adjustment/corrective action

⚠️ 4️⃣ Things That Could Go Wrong

🔸Over-reliance on single indicators
🔸 Reporting indicators w/o contextual data
🔸 Accurate indicators but nobody can measure
🔸 Monitoring w/o benefits for local communities

“What we measure matters,”

#PeatlandsMatter
"You know you are in the Upside Down when a famous human-rights organisation petitions your government to disenfranchise you and members of your group, to stop you from engaging in peaceful actions and voicing your concerns and opinions."


"If any man can fill out a form, as is the case in Ireland, and legally become a woman ‘for all purposes’, that is not a legal fiction. That is an access-all-areas pass for predators...

...This is not to say that trans-identified people are predators. But it is to say, if predators went through the seminary to gain access to victims, are we to believe they would not fill out an A4 form?"

"That is the essence of self-ID: it affirms the wishes of the trans-identified person. Even if they are a rapist..Or a man who wants access to female-only spaces for the buzz of the transgression. This system is harmful to all of society – including genuine transsexuals."

"We do not accept that males, regardless of how they identify, should have access to female toilets, changing rooms, hospital wards or refuges. This is not a conservative viewpoint. This is the fundamental basis on which we order society."
