Reach
Who participated, where, for how long and through which activities.
↗ Impact & learning
Impact is more than reach.
We want to understand not only how many activities were delivered, but whether people gained stronger capabilities, greater access to opportunity, improved wellbeing and more resilient community systems.

How we think about impact
From participation to lasting capability.
Different programmes require different indicators, but our approach looks at whether communities are gaining meaningful capabilities, opportunities and ownership — not simply whether an activity took place.
Capability
What people, groups and local organisations are better able to do after the intervention.
↗Opportunity
Whether participants gain stronger access to learning, income, services, voice or support.
↗Ownership
Whether local relationships, structures and solutions are stronger beyond individual activities.
↗Understanding results
Connect what we do to what changes.
A simple evidence chain helps programmes explain how resources and activities are expected to contribute to practical outcomes.
Inputs
Resources, people, partnerships and capabilities mobilised for the work.
Activities
Training, community engagement, services, mobilisation and practical support delivered.
Outputs
Immediate products of delivery — people reached, groups supported, sessions held or services provided.
Outcomes
Changes in skills, behaviours, access, livelihoods, participation, wellbeing or resilience.
Learning
What worked, what changed during delivery and what should be strengthened next.
Learning & accountability
Evidence should improve programmes, not only describe them.
Monitoring is most valuable when it helps teams and communities make better decisions.
We combine quantitative information with community feedback and qualitative learning to understand how programmes are experienced. This can reveal where a programme is working well, where people remain excluded and where delivery needs to adapt.
