Disaggregating quantitative indicators

Modified on Fri, 23 Feb at 9:18 AM

Please note: In the RSR Project Editor the field label/term for 'disaggregation' is 'Dimension'. That is the terminology used by the IATI standard and therefore we have currently chosen to adopt this terminology in the Project Editor to simplify things for our partners using RSR for their IATI export.


In other words the terms 'disaggregation' and 'dimension' in RSR are interchangeable. Or 'disaggregation' = 'dimension'.


Adding disaggregations to quantitative indicators is done via the Results and Indicators section of Project Editor and can be done at the same time that you're adding new indicators to your results framework.


After you've added your new indicators, scroll down a bit and simply click '+ Add disaggregation'.


You can add multiple disaggregation categories (e.g. age and gender) to an indicator depending the level of disaggregation required to accurately measure an indicator. You can also add multiple labels (e.g. 1-8yrs, 9yrs - 17yrs, 18 - 24yrs) to a disaggregation.




Disaggregations and their values contained in a Lead results framework are inherited by contributing projects when importing the results framework.


Disaggregation values are included in the Results and Indicators table standard project report.
