**Answer:** Agree indicators with the donor at the design stage and, where possible, align them with national mental health indicators reported through the Kenya Health Information System, so data also serves the county. WHO's mhGAP operations manual offers a ready-made monitoring framework covering inputs, outputs and outcomes. Report aggregated, de-identified figures. Explain how outcomes were measured and what the limits are, and state any data sharing in consent forms and data-sharing agreements that comply with the Data Protection Act.
