So you have been hearing the words indicator and circumstances, what do we mean when we say Indicators and Circumstances. Here is a list of all of the Indicators that we look at. This is our Response variable. The response variable, is the service we are looking at and calculating throughout the tree. For instance if we look at basic Drinking water, we are looking at who has access to basic drinking water and who doesn’t. Our LNOB tree for Basic drinking water will always calculate the average access to basic drinking water throughout the splits. Each one of these indicators connects to an SDG and are categorized into 5 thematic categories. We will be sure to cover this in more detail later.
