Common indicators, including from the European Union Roadmap for engagement with Civil Society in the Guinea-Bissau and Gender Action Plan III/CLIP, shall be used as much as possible to allow for a comprehensive yet specific reporting. Furthermore, whenever applicable, the internal monitoring systems and tools must contain indicators disaggregated by gender, disability status, age groups, and geography.
