This toolkit is a practical resource for organisations providing support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It helps projects decide what aspects of SME performance to measure, as well as how to measure them.

The first part consists of an indicator inventory: A set of actionable metrics drawn from existing sustainability standards, company codes of conduct and international development monitoring and evaluation frameworks. The second part focuses on methods: Outlining different tools and methods for data collection, with real-life examples of measurement in a developing country context.
