Reporting & evidence

Evidence-led reporting partners can verify

We recommend clear indicators, timelines, and location tagging (district / ward / village) with evidence links.

What we measure

  • Participants trained (by group type)
  • Groups formed and supported (CIG)
  • Tree seedlings produced / planted
  • School outreach events delivered
  • Adoption indicators (e.g., energy-saving stoves used)

How we report

  • Time-bound reporting (e.g., Jan–Dec)
  • Location tags (district / ward / village)
  • Clear definitions (what counts as “beneficiary”)
  • Evidence links (photos, registers, letters, reports)
