Impact & Evidence

Evidence is how we earn the right to scale.

We measure what matters, share what we learn and use the evidence to improve our programmes.

"Early evidence does not tell the whole story, but it tells us where change begins."

From the Field

Behaviour change often appears before the numbers.

In the opening session of the GROW pilot, women in Mpatasie and Deikrom started asking a question none of the facilitators had prompted: how do we keep farm records?

Women who have farmed for decades. Asking, unprompted, how to document their own work.

"Women who have farmed for decades are asking, for the first time, how do we keep our farm records?"

Field observation, GROW Programme Session 1, 2026

Endline results come later. Early behaviour change is where the evidence begins.

What We Are Measuring

Four commitments to honest evidence.

We measure what matters to enterprise development—not simply what is easiest to count. Programme data is shared through the dashboard and annual reports.

Farm recordkeeping adoption

Are women keeping consistent records of farm costs and revenues? This is the foundational behaviour that makes every other enterprise improvement possible.

Digital tool uptake

Are participants using digital records, mobile money or market price tools in actual business decisions? Uptake is tracked, not assumed.

Market behaviour change

Are women making at least one cost-informed pricing decision? Are they connected to new buyers? Market participation with more agency is the core outcome we are working toward.

Climate-smart practice adoption

Are participants adopting sustainable farming techniques? We track actual adoption in the field, not self-reported awareness, and connect it to yield and resilience outcomes.
