Describes the type of meter provided to households or individuals with utility connections as a result of the organization's activities during the reporting period.

Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture the type of meter—whether operating, non-operating/broken, or no meter—provided to households or individuals with utility connections during the reporting period. This metric can help assess whether households connected to a service are actually able to access that service and whether it is provided at a fair price.
This metric is often used by International Finance Institutions (IFIs) as part of infrastructure analysis.
In some circumstances, this metric can help describe the likelihood that the impact will be different than expected, the RISK dimension of impact. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. The selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
