The Methodology Manual offers detailed technical guidance for data collection, the construction of the CDIS indicators and the interpretation of results. It is structured around 3 key sections:
- The Analytical Framework provides an overview of culture and development debates and summarizes the conceptual and analytical parameters of the CDIS methodology;
- The 7 Dimension Roadmaps (Economy, Education, Governance, Social Participation, Gender Equality, Communication, and Heritage Sustainability) provide the step-by-step instructions to construct and interpret the 22 CDIS indicators at the national level;
- A brief Technical Note reviews the main technical and methodological issues (data sources, types of indicators etc.).
The complete CDIS Methodology Manual is in the process of being finalised and will be published soon. You can download the 7 Roadmaps below:
