Description of the indicator

Equations

Completeness

1

Percentage of beneficiary profiles found missing in MCTS portal

\( \frac{\mathrm{No}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{beneficiary}\ \mathrm{profiles}\ \mathrm{missin}{\mathrm{g}}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{sampled}\ \mathrm{beneficiarie}{\mathrm{s}}_{\mathrm{j}}}\times 100 \)

2

Percentage of total data fields found with entries, in the primary data source and the MCTS portal respectively

\( \frac{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{field}\mathrm{s}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{entrie}{\mathrm{s}}_{\mathrm{ij}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{field}{\mathrm{s}}_{\mathrm{ij}}}\times 100 \)

3

Percentage of common data fields found empty in both the primary data source and MCTS portal

\( \frac{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{found}\ \mathrm{empty}\ \mathrm{In}\ \mathrm{both}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{source}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{both}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{source}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{j}}} \times 100 \)

4a

Percentage of common data fields with entry in MCTS portal, without entry in primary data source

\( \frac{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{e}\mathrm{ntry}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}\mathrm{l},\ \mathrm{with}\mathrm{out}\ \mathrm{e}\mathrm{ntry}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{sourc}{\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{both}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{sourc}\mathrm{e}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{j}}}\times 100 \)

4b

Percentage of common data fields with entry in primary data source, without entry in MCTS portal

\( \frac{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{entry}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{source},\ \mathrm{with}\mathrm{out}\ \mathrm{entry}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{both}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{source}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{J}}} \times 100 \)

Accuracy

5

Percentage of common data fields with matching entries in both primary data tool and MCTS portal

\( \frac{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{matching}\ \mathrm{entries}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{both}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{tool}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{of}\ \mathrm{common}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{fields}\ \mathrm{filled}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{both}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{tool}\ \mathrm{and}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{porta}{\mathrm{l}}_{\mathrm{j}}}\times 100 \)

Overall System Performance

6

Percentage of all possible MCTS portal data fields for sampled beneficiaries with accurate entries

\( \frac{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{no}.\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{portal}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{f}\mathrm{ields}\ \mathrm{with}\ \mathrm{entries}\ \mathrm{that}\ \mathrm{match}\ \mathrm{the}\mathrm{ir}\ \mathrm{counterpart}\ \mathrm{entries}\ \mathrm{in}\ \mathrm{the}\ \mathrm{primary}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{sourc}{\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\mathrm{Total}\ \mathrm{MCTS}\ \mathrm{portal}\ \mathrm{data}\ \mathrm{f}\mathrm{ields}\ \mathrm{f}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\ \mathrm{whole}\ \mathrm{sampl}{\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{J}}}\times 100 \)
