Required in NRDS for KS Reporting

‘Āina Ulu Reporting Framework Overview

Focus on active stewardship using both quantitative and qualitative data. How are we documenting progress and telling the story of Hui ‘Āina Ulu? This refocusing will enable us to show the different phases of stewardship, while still tethering to the unique story of each site.
Existing quantitative data collection is refined, while maintaining a consistent measure of impact across sites and historical data.

What is different?

Metrics will focus on Stewardship, Engagement, and Leadership.
Min 3 has been removed as requirement. Zip code for learners has been moved to numbers served report. Partners will need to choose one representative zipcode per group.
Stewardship Outcomes and Measures have been revised to simplify and consolidate measures across the hui and provide additional choice.
Quantitative measures (Numbers Served, Dollars Leveraged, Budgeting, and Stewardship metrics) are now only required at quarter 2 (midyear) and quarter 4 (end of year) reports.
Qualitative highlights/challenges for each Metric group (Stewardship, Engagement, and Leadership) plus photos are required each quarter.

What is required and how to report?

NRDS will remain the primary platform for reporting going forward. Forms have been revised to remove extraneous information and make direct uploading easier for partners if that is preference.
