5 The handbook is intended to be used by applicants and implementing partners. This handbook contains performance indicator reference sheets (PIRS) for all BHA indicators, guidance on applicability criteria for each indicator, and guidance on what partners should include in custom indicator PIRSs. Each PIRS describes: key terms in each indicator; how the indicator should be calculated; how disaggregates should be reported; how the data should be collected; and any additional, external resources that may be useful for understanding how to use the indicator in practice. HOW THIS HANDBOOK IS ORGANIZED This handbook contains 5 sections. This introductory section, Section 1, provides important information about how to use this handbook and how common terms used across many PIRSs are defined. Sections 2 through 4 include the PIRSs for all BHA indicators and summary tables that explain which indicators should be used in each sub-sector or for activities with a Food Security goal/purpose.

6 Section 2 includes a summary table of indicators that partners should use for activities with a Food Security goal or purpose, as well as PIRSs for 4 indicators. Section 3 includes 15 sub-sections one for each of the BHA sectors which are organized alphabetically from Agriculture to WASH. Section 4 includes PIRSs for Keyword indicators that are not affiliated with a specific sector. Several BHA indicators are used in several sub-sectors and/or Food Security. These indicators are listed under each sub-sector summary table, along with their applicability criteria and preferred method of data collection. The full reference sheet for each indicator, by contrast, only appears once in the handbook: it is located in the section/sub-section where that indicator is most likely to be used/referenced most often by partners. Partners should use the summary tables at the beginning of each chapter to toggle to the correct page(s) where the PIRS is located, , using the hyperlink or page number in the summary table.

7 BHA Indicator Handbook Page 6 Table 1 summarizes the total number of unique PIRSs that appear in each sub-sector, as well as the total number of indicators included under that sub-sector. (Note that Food Security and Keywords are not sub-sectors, but rather stand-alone sections in this handbook.) Table 1.

8 **Note that there are no standard BHA indicators for the HPSAA or M&E sectors, however, partners should refer to those sections respective summary tables for sector-specific indicator requirements. **The Protection sector requires additional, custom indicators in addition to the 6 Required indicators. Finally, Section 5 includes an annotated PIRS template that partners should use when creating custom indicator PIRSs. Partners are encouraged to use the PIRS template provided in this handbook, but may use other formats as long as the required information is included. BHA Indicator Handbook Page 7 INDICATOR NUMBERS Each BHA indicator has a unique, alphanumeric identifier. All Food Security indicators are identified by FS plus a number ( , FS1, FS2, FS3). All sector indicators are identified by a single letter plus a number ( , Health indicators are H1, H2, H3). Keyword indicators are identified by the letter K followed by a number.

9 Table 2 outlines the lettering system used to identify BHA indicators. Table 2. Alphabetic Numbering System for BHA Indicators FS Food Security A Agriculture D Disaster Risk Reduction Policy and Practice E Economic Recovery and Market Systems F Food ASSISTANCE H Health I HUMANITARIAN Coordination, Information Management, & Assessments L Logistics M Multipurpose Cash ASSISTANCE N Nutrition P Protection S Shelter and Settlements T Natural Hazards and Technological Risks W Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene K Keywords: cash and vouchers Note: The sectors HUMANITARIAN Policy, Studies, Analysis, or Applications (HPSAA) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are not included above as all of the required indicators for those sectors are custom. Partners should use the letter C to designate custom indicators within their Indicator Tracking Table For example, if a partner uses three customer indicators, they should number these as C1, C2, and C3, respectively.

10 The partner should create a PIRS for each custom indicator, and include the unique indicator number at the top of the PIRS. Section 5 includes an annotated PIRS template that partners should use when creating custom indicator PIRSs. BHA Indicator Handbook Page 8 APPLICABILITY CRITERIA Each PIRS, and the summary table at the top of each section, identifies the applicability criteria for each indicator or sub-sector. Most sectors designate indicators as either required (R) or Required if Applicable (RiA). Required indicators must be collected and reported on within that sector or sub-sector. Required if Applicable indicators must only be collected and reported on if the applicability criteria articulated in the PIRS is met. Some sub-sectors use a different system for applicability criteria whereby partners need to pick a Required, Required if Applicable, and either Select 2 or Select 3.
