 How to implement this new framework for SI indicators? We developed a template at various levels.
 We have developed a worksheet for community and for household levels. The XL sheet collects information about SI indicators. This XL file has 7 sections (for households) covering the 5 domains + basic information. Your research team has to monitor these indicators and the IFPRI team has to aggregate it.
-'''These indicators need to be collected before USAID decides about phase 2 (March-April 2016).''' There is no timeline about this yet apart from the last tab (FtF community indicators) which needs to have data in by late September.
