Impact

No vanity metrics.

We publish what changed, where, over what period, and how we know. Where we do not yet know, we say so.

Our framework

Measurement follows the five areas of work. Each measure carries a unit, a reporting period, a geography, and a stated method. A number is published only after it has been checked against its source.

  • 01 · Energy
    • Installed capacity by site, with commissioning date
    • Availability: hours of usable supply against expected hours
    • Maintenance events resolved locally, and time to resolution
    • Productive uses connected, by type of enterprise
    About energy
  • 02 · Water
    • Storage and harvesting capacity installed, by site
    • Distribution losses estimated before and after works
    • Days of supply through the dry season
    • Water quality test results, with method and laboratory
    About water
  • 03 · Circularity
    • Tonnes collected and sorted by stream, per reporting period
    • Share of collected material processed locally
    • Paid roles supported, with hours and pay rates
    • Compost produced and where it was applied
    About circularity
  • 04 · Agriculture
    • Soil organic matter, sampled with a stated method and interval
    • Water applied per unit of production
    • Post-harvest loss estimated before and after intervention
    • Share of produce sold within the region
    About agriculture
  • 05 · Tourism
    • Share of purchasing sourced within the region, by value
    • Local employment and pay levels, reported by participating operators
    • Water and energy use per guest night
    • Material separated and processed locally per guest night
    About tourism

Verified results

We are building the evidence with the work. Results will be published with their method, place, and reporting period.

Method and limits

Baselines are recorded before work begins wherever it is practical. Where a baseline is estimated rather than measured, we label it as an estimate and explain how it was produced.

We do not attribute a whole outcome to our involvement when other factors — rainfall, prices, policy, other organisations — plainly contributed. Where attribution is uncertain, we report the change and describe the uncertainty.

Self-reported figures from partners are labelled as self-reported until they can be checked independently.
