Water.org is aligned with the Operating Principles for Impact Management, which provides a reference point against which impact management of systems of funds and institutions may be assessed.
Monitor
We measure and track progress and impact metrics to inform and improve how we work, making sure our dollars go further.
Validate
We conduct due diligence to confirm results to inform current and future strategies.
Learning
We synthesize learnings and incorporate best practices to improve performance through efficient adaptation and uptake for future solutions.
Evidence
We build an objective and credible evidence base to instill confidence in our work through data analysis, program tracking, result measurements, research, and business case studies.
Turning insights into impact
We carefully track our impact by analyzing monthly partner reports and progress, conducting household visits and viability assessments, and performing rigorous research. We use these methods to evaluate the outcomes of our solutions, improve how we work and change more lives with safe water.
These methods also ensure we use our donor dollars wisely and efficiently, enabling us to bring smart, lasting solutions to the global water crisis. We are accountable to the people we serve, to our partners, and to you.
