This manual provides guidance to users at the country level on the selection of indicators and their use as a tool for identifying priority issues, formulating and assessing green economy policy options, and evaluating the performance of policy implementation. In particular, a series of steps are suggested for the identification and use of indicators throughout the integrated policymaking (IP) cycle. More specifically, emphasis is put on three IP stages in which the use of indicators is particularly relevant, namely (1) issue identification and agenda setting; (2) policy formulation and assessment, and (3) monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Stage 2 (policy formulation and assessment) is further sub-divided into two for the purposes of this manual.
