This indicator refers to the percentage of board positions in supported CSOs that are occupied by individuals from minorities and groups that are marginalised, including young people [aged 15 to 24 years], self-reported LGBTIQ+ people, migrants and refugees, and self-reported Roma people.

Together with the metric on women in the board of supported organisations, this metric is used to assess diversity and inclusivity in the leadership structures of these organisations.

The board refers to the formal governing or decision-making body of the organisation responsible for its strategic direction, oversight, and accountability.

This percentage is calculated as: (Number of individuals from minorities and groups that are marginalised in the board / Total number of board members) x 100.

Women in the board do NOT count in this indicator as another indicator tracks this.

Self-reported means that this information should be provided directly and voluntarily by individuals, based on their personal understanding and preference, rather than being inferred, assumed, or assigned by others. This ensures that the data reflects each person's authentic identity. The option ''prefer not to say' should always be offered. Please see the Guidance on the use of the core indicators library.
