Evidence of change

Impact & Stories

Document the people reached, the capabilities developed, the experiences created and the lessons that can help future programmes improve.

Our impact approach

Measure what changes — not only what happens.

Impact reporting should connect activities to outcomes and make the evidence understandable to participants, partners, donors and public institutions.

✓Reach — who participated and where
✓Experience — what participants engaged with
✓Change — skills, confidence or behaviour indicators
✓Continuation — what happened after the programme
Participants collaborating

Change

Next
