Definition & calculation
Count individuals from the affected community who actively participated in documented shelter or settlement design, siting, or safety consultation sessions, counting each individual once regardless of the number of sessions attended, disaggregated by sex, age and disability status.
Means of verification
Consultation attendance records and facilitation reports
Interpretation
Typical reporting frequency: Monthly or quarterly
Guidance & common pitfalls
Tracks inclusive participation in shelter decisions and settlement safety planning. Monitor meaningful representation of women, older people and persons with disabilities rather than raw attendance, and avoid double-counting individuals who attend multiple sessions.
