Impact and accountability
Real progress deserves real evidence.
GANED's long-term model depends on clear verification, measurable local implementation, transparent reporting and learning that other communities can use.
Our reporting framework
What we aim to measure
Indicators should match each project's actual work, resources and locally agreed goals.
Resources mobilized
Track contributions, volunteer expertise and in-kind support through properly documented records.
Activities delivered
Record purchases, services, training, school resources or community support actually provided.
Community outcomes
Evaluate changes meaningful to local participants rather than relying on participation counts alone.
Verification
Listing is not the same as approval.
Organizations and initiatives may be published following basic screening, but that does not automatically establish operational verification or permission to fundraise through GANED.
Funding authorization requires further review, appropriate agreements, financial safeguards and documentation that supports the claims made to donors.
The learning cycle
From pilot to replicable community model
- 1
Start with a local need
Community members define the problem and workable outcomes.
- 2
Document an accountable plan
Confirm who is responsible, what support is required and how success will be evaluated.
- 3
Implement and monitor
Local teams document milestones, challenges and relevant records.
- 4
Publish results and learn
Explain what happened, what can be evidenced and what should change.
- 5
Share the model
Document practical lessons so another group can assess whether replication fits its context.
Transparency commitments
Numbers should mean something.
We will display public financial and impact figures only once supporting records are reconciled and their reporting periods are clear.
Program and financial reporting
Public summaries should identify the reporting period, sources, relevant fees and actual program spending.
Community-centered evidence
Projects should seek appropriate local consent and safeguard private or sensitive information, especially where children are involved.
