iii) To use appropriate qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methodology, to allow for future evaluation indicators on the use by and usefulness of the referral system to the relevant State and Non State Actors

iv) To design and provide key quantitative and qualitative indicators for evaluation from the data analysis to measure the use of the referral mechanism and the usefulness of the referral system to the relevant State and Non-State Actors in the mid and long term
