General Process...

• Choose your Unit of Analysis (administrative area
  or livelihood zone)
• Think about the period of validity (current and
  imminent)
• Enter all relevant data, and use charts and
  tables to summarize evidence
• Distinguish between direct and indirect evidence

Direct and Indirect Evidence

• Direct evidence is data that directly measures
  the outcome reference indicator, and can
  therefore be compared to a given threshold
• Indirect evidence is evidence that does not
  directly measure the reference outcome, and
  cannot be compared to a threshold.
