How to use
We show you how to get started with the CVE tool. Find practical ways to measure the impact of your CVE program.
What are outcomes and indicators?
What is an outcome?
An outcome is the expected consequence of a program e.g. changes in participants’ knowledge, behaviour, skills, status, or level of functioning, as a result of the program. Outcomes should indicate who the activity is aimed at and how they are affected by the program.
The following high-level outcomes for countering violent extremism programs are based on outcomes frameworks developed by the NSW and Commonwealth governments.
See a list of outcomes for each of the four high-level outcomes.
For more information see the National Evaluation Guide for Countering Violent Extremism Project Planners and the NSW Countering Violent Extremism Evaluation Approach.
What is an indicator?
Indicators are the markers that let you know whether you are achieving your outcomes. This tool provides you with suggestions of which indicators and tools you could use to measure different CVE outcomes. When you select an outcome, you will be provided with a list of possible indicators you could use and links to tools to measure these indicators. Please note these are only suggestions and may need to be adapted.
