Definition & calculation
Numerator: Number of assessed site committees where women and members of at-risk groups hold at least the agreed proportion of positions
Denominator: Total number of assessed site governance committees
Committee composition is reviewed against the agreed representation threshold; committees meeting it are divided by all assessed committees.
Formula: (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100
Means of verification
Committee membership records; site monitoring; participation observation
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Monthly or quarterly
Guidance & common pitfalls
Define the representation threshold and at-risk categories with the community in advance. Composition is a structural output; pair this with qualitative observation of whether members participate meaningfully in decisions rather than holding token seats.
