This indicator will be tracked through the bilateral survey to be administered by the FMO to Project Promoters and donor project partners at the end of each project (ex-post). The unit of measurement for most bilateral outcome indicators in the survey will be the scale 1-5, where 1 is low and 5 is high. Baselines are not applicable (N/A) for bilateral indicators because partners typically do not have sufficient experience of each other at the outset of a project. All programmes will have the same bilateral indicator target of 4 out of 5.

The survey question to measure this indicator will be: "To what extent did you have a trusted relationship with your partner?"

This indicator reflects the degree to which both partners consistently relied on each other to act with integrity, honor commitments, and maintain open and transparent communication.
