Tool 2: Wellbeing monitoring step-by-step
The tool consists of a step-by-step description of how to develop a practical survey instrument to monitor household wellbeing. The description includes logistic design, development of locally meaningful wellbeing indicators, and practical tips for implementing the tool.
The process is described in six main steps as indicated in Figure 9. Click on the numbered steps to link to detailed descriptions.

Steps 4, 5 and 6 should be repeated regularly, for example every year or two.
The tool may be implemented by a single government agency, an NGO or a monitoring team (see Box 17).
Box 17. The monitoring team of Kutai Barat
The monitoring team of Kutai Barat was officially established by the district government and consisted of five government employees representing the community empowerment service, the demographic census unit, the environmental service, the regional planning agency, and the agricultural service, plus one representative of a local NGO. The team received technical training and assistance from CIFOR and external trainers (on the use of statistics and geographic information systems) over more than 3 years. The team was highly motivated, and organised the various monitoring trials and the official monitoring survey in a professional way.
Due to the typical staff fluctuation, some members were exchanged over time as some moved on to more influential planning positions. However, after a new district leader was elected, the monitoring team’s work came to a temporary halt. |
