We are committed to tracking our progress and monitoring each project to ensure we deliver best-practice service. This allows us to identify issues and trends in projects, inform national or global knowledge, advocate for programmes or approaches, contribute to research and demonstrate our impact to our community of supporters.
We collect and measure output, outcome and impact data so that everyone – from hospital administrators to programme managers – can make informed decisions that improve health and education outcomes.
We care about aligning our impact with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
