When evaluating policy advocacy to support people living in subdivided flats or poor living conditions in Hong Kong, several indicators can be considered. Here are five key indicators for evaluating such policy advocacy efforts:

Housing quality and safety: This indicator focuses on the condition of housing units and whether they meet basic safety and hygiene standards. It includes factors such as access to adequate sanitation facilities, ventilation, structural integrity, and protection against fire hazards.

Adequacy of living space: This indicator assesses whether the living space in subdivided flats or poor living conditions meets a minimum standard for occupants. It considers factors such as the size of the living area, the number of people sharing the space, and the provision of essential amenities within the limited living area.

Affordability of housing: Evaluating the affordability of housing is crucial to assess the effectiveness of policy advocacy. This indicator considers the proportion of household income spent on rent or housing expenses. It helps determine whether the advocated policies have been successful in making housing more affordable for low-income individuals and families.

Access to basic services: This indicator examines the availability and accessibility of essential services in the vicinity of the housing units. It includes access to healthcare facilities, educational institutions, public transportation, community services, and other necessary amenities that contribute to a decent quality of life.

Social support and community integration: This indicator evaluates the extent to which policy advocacy efforts have improved social support networks and community integration for individuals living in poor conditions. It considers factors such as access to social welfare services, community development programs, and opportunities for social participation and inclusion.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
