Planting rate (percent)
Definition
Tree individuals planted at a site, whoever planted them, divided by the living trees the recipients confirmed receiving in the acknowledged consignments at that site, as a percentage. A tree individual counts as planted when it carries a planting date, whether a planting record by the implementing partner names it or its owner or steward registered their own planting; the denominator is the living trees delivered, because a tree never planted never becomes a tree individual (ADR-0003), and dead stock is a shortfall of the delivery, not of the site. Rolled up by summing numerators and denominators, never by averaging.
purpose
To turn received versus planted into one rate per site, species and place, so that a delivery programme’s planting-day and household losses are visible and comparable.
rationale
The gap between trees received and trees planted was KIA-Adapt’s largest loss; a rate with the consignment as denominator makes the gap a number that a site or a species can be held to.

Collections
- 2026 core indicator set: The fifteen indicators a 2026 project under the standard reports: the site preconditions and assessments, delivery and planting, education and care, and the survival family to T2. Every member is approved and served by an approved methodology whose records exist in the standard; the monthly and final reports are queries over approved claims at these indicators. Module indicators sit outside it.
- Delivery indicators: The output indicators computed from consignments under NCGS-M011: trees delivered and acknowledged, planting rate, and trees lost in delivery.
