Inclusive Economy Indicators: Framework & Indicator Recommendations
Grounded in social impact, this Rockefeller research defines inclusive economies as those that “expand opportunities for more broadly shared prosperity, especially for those facing the greatest barriers to advancing their well-being”. It identifies five critical characteristics: equitable, participatory, growing, sustainable, and stable. Indicators include:
Education sector: Percentage of students with higher educational attainment than their parents (disaggregated by gender, race)
Equitable wealth: Ratio of income/consumption of highest to lowest quintile, highlighting the extent of inequality between income classes (disaggregated by gender, race)
Percentage of informal workers
Financial Services Skills Commission’s Inclusion Measurement Guide
This inclusion measurement guide is split across 4 levels based on the maturity of the inclusion measurement already in place in organisations. There are three types of measurement tools included in the guide: questions to be included in engagement surveys or inclusion surveys to measure inclusion; examples of data tracking which can be built into existing structures; and free text questions which can be included alongside any of the questions.
Measurement Framework for Equality and Human Rights

Impact Management Project (IMP) Glossary
A comprehensive impact management glossary with hundreds of terms and counting. When it comes to managing impact, many terms mean different things to different people, or different words are often used to mean the same thing. This glossary attempts to clarify the similarities and differences in language usage among a number of impact-focused disciplines that often interact.
Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Strategy 2018–2022: Fiji Women’s Fund
The Fiji Women’s Fund is an initiative of the Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development (Pacific Women) Program, funded by the Australian Government. In November 2015, DFAT commissioned a three-member design team to develop the Fund design. The design team consulted with a range of stakeholders including key women’s civil society organisations and rural women’s groups, government, private sector and development grantees. The consultation highlighted the positive interest and support from women’s civil society organisations for the Fund to be locally owned and managed. However, there was strong consensus among women’s organisations that the process for localising the Fund required time and planning, and that this would be the key focus of the Fund while it is supported by DFAT until 2022. The Fund commits up to AU$10.5 million from July 2017 to June 2022 to women’s organisations, groups and networks. It will provide funding and capacity development support to women’s groups, organisations and networks in Fiji to expand and enhance their work on women’s empowerment and gender equality.
