Units Required Supplemental data: In addition to the percentage, the TTL should provide the total number of transactions of the main public service targeted by the project in order to make aggregation across projects feasible. Guidance: This indicator should be calculated as the average score among transactions, divided by the number of digits in the scale. For example, if a survey after each vehicle registration transaction asks users to rank from 1= unsatisfied, to 5= highly satisfied, then the indicator will be the average score divided by 5 and multiplied by 100. Surveys asking whether the user is satisfied (yes/no) cannot be used to calculate this indicators as these do not indicate the "degree" of satisfaction. Examples of public service transactions include issuance of business registration, payment for public utility services, registration of driver's license, etc. The main service targeted by the project 8 should be chosen based on the allocated project costs. The category of this service should be specified in the comments. With baseline data, this indicator shows improvements in the user perception of quality of public service targeted by the project. Data is collected through user survey. A user survey can be included at the end of each transaction or conducted periodically.
