West Africa
A savings model that crossed three borders
A market cooperative's rotating savings practice was documented in plain language, translated, and adopted by four other councils within a year.
Impact & stories
Evidence that a local answer can matter somewhere else
We measure two things: whether a community's own goal was met, and whether the record of that work was useful to someone else. Figures and stories below are illustrative placeholders pending verified reporting.

Field stories
Work told by the people who did it
Southeast Asia
From flooded plots to a shared watershed plan
Neighbors mapped water flow street by street, then published the method log that two upstream communities now use.
Andes region
Curriculum written by the teachers who use it
Eleven educators co-authored a heritage and ecology unit now taught in classrooms on two continents.
How we measure
Honest, community-defined evidence
Community-set outcomes
Each council names the change it wants before work begins, and reports against that.
Adaptation tracking
We count how often a documented model is picked up elsewhere — and what had to change.
Published failures
Approaches that did not work are recorded too. They are often the most useful entries.
Grantmaker-ready reporting
Data entered by councils flows into templates funders can review without extra burden.
