Programme goals measured on one framework
Four goals, scattered evidence
WWF South Africa and Environmental and Rural Solutions ran a programme in the uMzimvubu Catchment tackling water scarcity, ecosystem degradation and socio-economic pressure. It spanned four goals: ecological infrastructure, freshwater quality and quantity, livelihoods, and rangeland biodiversity.
Measuring progress across four goals and several partners meant evidence lived in different places, and the programme’s story was hard to assemble in one view.
A nine-step process, aligned to the SDGs
Sopact worked through a structured process, from clarifying the social-impact goals to designing the data, the branding and the research support, with impact measurement aligned to the SDGs.
Reporting was designed through several iterations so the framework, the dashboard, and the narrative fit the way funders read the work.
One evidence-driven story
The catchment programme now reports as a single evidence-driven story across its four goals, aligned to the SDGs, the framework, the dashboard, and the narrative built to hold together.
