Limitations and precautions

  • This indicator does not count isolated actions that do not follow a strategy regarding the objective, audience, and method to raise awareness on a certain theme to a given public.

  • While the indicator counts actions, it is advisable to proceed with an acquisition of information check when possible with the recipients of the awareness-raising campaign or initiative (e.g. if online, see the comments of the viewers/participants, if offline, some surveys or questionnaires could be prepared in advance to be used on the spot).

What further analysis are we interested in?

  • What are the attitudes of the public/targeted audiences when receiving the information through the awareness-raising actions?

  • Were any of the awareness raising led to a change (individual/collective/system)?

  • Were the awareness-raising campaigns and or initiatives supported by children? If so, how do children feel regarding the messaging and outcomes of the action?
