Global Metrics

As part of a wider program of monitoring and evaluation, all of our partners report into a common set of metrics. This data is used to both monitor performance at a local level – and can be aggregated to provide a global picture of results. The metrics cover a number of common areas, including who we are reaching, the outputs we produce and project cost.

Current results for hotspots in Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nepal, and Thailand are up to end-2022. Results for northern India, southern India, and Rajasthan are for up to the end of 2021.
