Achievements
The results of inequitable allocation of resources and/or disempowerment to use resources are observed as differential outcomes or achievements, such as different levels of income, nutrition, food security, and/or health or well-being. The methods for measuring these achievements are outlined in the indicators for other domains. The assessment of equity is primarily carried out by disaggregating the data into the groups of interest and then applying one of the three equations defined in the introduction to the equity indicator above.

Limitations regarding estimating and interpreting:
Achievements often take time to materialize, even after underlying inequities or issues have been addressed. For this reason, care is necessary in interpreting the results. For example, equitable achievements may not reflect a recent trend of disempowerment. Likewise inequitable achievements do not mean that a short term project has failed, as those more equitable achievements may only gradually materialize.
