Tutorial: Navigator index scoring methodology

Methodology: Index Values for Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and Development

The Indigenous Navigator comprises two questionnaires, namely a National Questionnaire and a Community Questionnaire, which includes 117 and 138 questions, respectively. If a question in a meaningful way can be assigned a comparative numerical value, they are included in the index calculations. This makes it possible to compare data and present it graphically.

The index can be disaggregated into domains, which can be disaggregated into areas, that again can be disaggregated into questions. And each element is weighted according to the importance of the element. In this note each step if this process is explained.
